BLAZE BAYLEY Working On Classical EP In Belgium

Former IRON MAIDEN frontman Blaze Bayley has issued the following update:

"Great night in Manchester at Grand Central. What a great start for the new single. Should be available by Halloween. The ride back after the gig was good. Dry and clear skys with an almost full moon. Can't wait till I have time to do the next part of the Exhaust project.

Now I'm in Belgium working on songs for a new classical EP with Thomas Zwijsen. We will be working on a new full classical guitar arrangement of 'Sign Of The Cross'. It will be one of 5 songs for the new classical EP."

Bayley recently issued the following: "Australia and New Zealand, here I come! These are the confirmed dates of my Down Under Tour 2012: Di'anno Vs Blaze. I have never been to Australia or New Zealand before, so I'm very excited. I also have family there that I have never met so it makes the whole tour even better. Of course I will be signing after every show where it is possible, and I will try to meet you all and sign things before the show if I have to rush off after the show."
