Iron Maiden Fans Launch Online Petition

(Classic Rock) A group of Iron Maiden fans have launched an online petition to have Derek Riggs brought back on board as the band's artist. Riggs, who's credited with inventing the band's Eddie mascot, created every album cover from 1980's self-titled debut until 1990's No Prayer For The Dying, before his contribution was reduced.

There's been a flurry of online petition activity recently, with haters of Ghost launching a campaign to have the band split, and supporters lashing back with a counter-campaign.

Now Maiden fan Derek Tigner from the USA has joined the movement, and he's secured nearly 400 signatures on his petition. He says: "Derek Riggs' artwork and visual direction is second to none. Many fans view his artwork to be as influential as the music Maiden produces." more on this story
