According to the Bucks Free Press, former IRON MAIDEN keyboardist Tony Moore — who played in the earliest incarnation of the British heavy metal band in 1977 — will launch his solo career in front of the U.K.'s music press with a special performance tomorrow at Booker's Wycombe Air Centre. Tony, who has also played on world tours as a keyboard player for CUTTING CREW, had planned to fly into town to play the gig and raise money for the Teenage Cancer Trust.

Flying solo in a Cessna 172 SP aeroplane, the musician, promoter and newly qualified pilot, will be staging 15 exclusive performances over nine days.

Tom Green, a spokesman for Tony, said: "As part of Tony Moore's Acoustic Airwaves tour he will be flying to and performing at 15 different airfields. The Wycombe Air Centre performance will be a press launch and the White Waltham Club House gig on August 19 is only open to members of the flying club. As a result, neither will be open to members of the general public."

============================

Forget Alan Atkins (Judas Priest) and Dave Evans (AC/DC), this guy takes the cake when it comes to living off an association with a band.

He was (briefly) a member of Iron Maiden in 1977 and played ONE gig with them and was then fired.

He wrote no songs and recorded no music with them.

This is so not news, sometimes Blabbermouth will print any old shit.

What a fucking moron.

So he launches his fucking 'solo career' 20 years later?

And spends time touring with some band nobody ever heard of before?

"Newly qualified" pilot?

There is something screwy about this.

Nobody could be this much of a fucking idiot.

Well, then again I could think of a few around here lol...
:D

Well let's not forget he toured the world with CUTTING CREW!!!!

Between one club gig with Maiden in '77 and a world tour with Cutting Crew, I can imagine people will be beating the doors down for tickets here. Van Halen, look out...
