Former Iron Maiden drummer Clive Burr has died at the age of 56. The legendary musician had been suffering from multiple sclerosis for many years, and although an official cause of death has not yet been revealed, the band reports that Burr passed away in his sleep last night at his home.

Clive Burr joined Iron Maiden in 1979, drumming on the band’s iconic first three albums — ‘Iron Maiden,’ ‘Killers’ and ‘The Number of the Beast.’ Burr left Iron Maiden shortly after the release of ‘Number of the Beast,’ and was replaced by current drummer Nicko McBrain by the time Maiden’s next album, ‘Piece of Mind,’ dropped in 1983. Burr went on to perform for acts such as Trust, Stratus, Desperado and others.

Less than 24 hours after David Lee Roth told SiriusXM’s Opie & Anthony that Van Halen was planning an extensive world tour, manager Irving Azoff has come forward to shoot down the singer’s comments. "Nothing's been discussed yet," Azoff tells Rolling Stone. "Why would he say this? Hey, Dave's a talkative guy. Why don't you call and ask him?"

“We’re going to be playing Europe,” Roth told the SiriusXM hosts on Monday. “Probably 50-60 shows outside of the United States starting at the end of this year and then come back around the US.” Azoff emphasizes that the band's only scheduled shows remain an April festival date in Australia, three June gigs in Japan, and a headlining gig at the Rock USA festival in July in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.
