Paul Mario Day (born 19 April 1956) is an English singer who was the original lead vocalist of heavy metal band Iron Maiden from 1975 to 1976.

Iron Maiden

Day was the first lead singer for Iron Maiden from December 1975 to October 1976. On the Iron Maiden The Early Days DVD it was mentioned that Day was fired because he did not have enough stage charisma. He was replaced by Dennis Wilcock. Years later he claimed co-authorship of the Iron Maiden song "Strange World".

Further activities

He later formed a band called More that played at the Donington Monsters of Rock Festival in 1981, and also had onetime Iron Maiden guitarist Paul Todd (who was in Iron Maiden for two days and never recorded or played live and only did a photo session with them), Def Leppard drummer Frank Noone in the line-up. He was lead singer of Wildfire in 1983 to 1984. In 1985 Sweet were re-formed by Andy Scott and Mick Tucker then featuring Paul Day. He recorded a live album at the Marquee Club in London as lead singer of Sweet in 1986. After this engagement he has lived in Australia since 1986 and is the lead vocalist of two bands from Newcastle, New South Wales. He has performed covers of rock songs with the band Defaced and sang and wrote for Crimzon Lake, now disbanded, an unsigned hard rock band. Currently he is in contact with the Australian progressive metal band Buffalo Crows in appearance as a guest musician. He is still claimed to be a New Wave of British Heavy Metal-Style musician.

In 2013, Day recorded vocals for a jingle for Canberra Toyota, a Toyota car dealership located in Canberra, Australian Capital Territory.

Recently, Day is reported to live in Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia.
