Iron Maiden
canceled two shows in Tokyo last weekend
due to the devastating earthquake and tsunami damage.
On Friday, Iron Maiden were flying into Tokyo from Seoul, South Korea following their show there; on approaching Narita Airport in Tokyo, Ed Force One was advised to reroute to Nagoya, as the earthquake/tsunami had just become apparent; the band stayed the night in Nagoya and left the following day.
Now, the band is planning to give something back to Japan, according to band manager Rod Smallwood:
“Following the cancellation of both Maiden Tokyo shows due to recent events in Japan, we will be donating the proceeds from sales of the Japanese event shirt available from the Official Iron Maiden Shop (ie. the shirt without tour dates on) to a Charity assisting victims of the earthquake.
This is their website for anyone who may want to make a donation: http://www.jrc.or.jp/english/index.html.
Our prayers are with all those in Japan!!!
