IRON MAIDEN drummer

Burr is suffering from multiple sclerosis — a disease of unknown cause. The disorder is causing him intermittent numbness and can affect his balance. At present there is no known cure for MS, although he is helping test new drugs in the hope that his body response may contribute to a cure.
Clive joined
IRON MAIDEN at the very end of December 1979 and played on the first three albums —
"Iron Maiden",
"Killers" and
"Number of the Beast" — and toured extensively with the band over this groundbreaking period before leaving in early 1983.
