Your support makes all the difference.Paddy Bowden, the estranged wife of Iron Maiden singer Bruce Dickinson, has been found dead at their marital home.
The mother-of-three’s body was discovered at the property in Chiswick, west London, on Monday morning.
In a statement Dickinson, 61, said: “This is a terrible tragedy which appears to be a tragic accident.
“Our children Austin, Griffin and Kia and I are devastated.
“Out of respect for Paddy we won’t be making any further comment at this hugely difficult and painful time for our family.”
London Ambulance Service confirmed they were called to the address in Barrogate Road at 9.42am.
“We sent two ambulance crews to the scene – the first one arriving within two minutes,” a spokesperson said.
“Sadly, the patient had already died.”
The couple split up last year after 29 years of marriage.
Dickinson has been lead singer for Iron Maiden since 1981, apart from a six-year period between 1993 and 1999.
Earlier this month the band confirmed they would not be playing any concerts until June 2021 because of the coronavirus pandemic.
