Ex Samson and Iron Maiden drummer passes away after long battle with MS. Very sad.

V Sad. Here he is at the Marquee in 1980, a gig I am pretty sure I attended

Sad news, and a great drummer.

[Noisyjon]

How very sad
What a drummer. I got to see him a few times at close quarters when he was in my guitar teacher's band...

RIP Clive.

Sad news. I remember going to see Maiden at Earls Court in 2006 with my sister who was on crutches, so we were in the disabled access section and sat next to Clive and his wife during the gig, chatting frequently. A genuinely nice guy, very humble and still held in great affection by the fans, as demonstrated by the "Clive" chants from nearby fans. My thoughts are with his family, especially Mimi who cared for him during the MS.

RIP Clive

Shame. Saw him lots in the early days.

Gutting - I'd have loved to have seen him with the band back in the day, excellent drummer.

I think this was the gig for the Danny baker documentary. They did 3 ( or was it 4 nights) . I went to first and last nights. People fainting etc. awesome.

Clive RIP. Still awed by the power of those drums at the start of The Prisoner, remember as a young lad listening to Maiden on my cassette Walkman under the duvet (!). Great memories.

Well gutted, Maiden are a big thing for me, they have been part of my life for so long, God bless ya Clive, RIP.

Rest well Clive.
Thank you

I'm surprised how sad I feel about this. Great drummer and early Maiden were a big part of my teenage years. Bloody shame.

RIP Clive

[Rayman]

That's a real shame. Saw him with Maiden in 1980, my first gig, and very fondly remembered.

MS runs in my family, so this has touched a nerve.

Rock on Clive

:-(

Sad about this, like many others have already said, Iron Maiden were a big part of my growing up (I think Iron Maiden, "Killers" was the second tape I ever bought by myself - I remember my Mum not being thrilled at the cover ). Always liked Clive's drumming, a damn shame what happened to him with the MS.

RIP Clive. Off to listen to some early Maiden now.

Wow! That just brought back a very vivid memory!!

[jezzaboy]

I`m with you Conan on this sad passing. I was surprised how sad I felt last night when I read this. I never really got into Maiden until Piece of mind that had Nicko in the line up and only listened to the first few albums later.

Great drummer and came across as a nice guy in the few interviews I have watched with him in. I know he was still well loved by the Iron Maiden family and can`t imagine how bad it is for them.

Why did he leave maiden, never really knew that for sure

He was 'replaced ' . Story about this in classic rock about 6 months ago. Not very nice by all accounts .

I`m not certain but I think he was partaking too much of something and was, in his own words, "asked to leave."

[swanbrook]

Pity he was a great drummer, number of the beast was my first IM tape !!

[chardbass]

I distinctly remember hearing the intro to The Prisoner on The Friday Rock Show and having to write the title down.
(I wrote it on one of those black cards where you scratched the black away to reveal white underneath)
Run to the Hills was an iconic drum intro- still is.

Sad news.
RIP Clive.

[redbandit599]

Sad news indeed, Maiden were my 'Beatles' and (imho) Clive kicks Ringo's butt every time.

Time to re-ignite my campiagn to get 'The Prisoner' into our set.

RIP Clive.
