THE former lead singer of Iron Maiden was jailed for nine months yesterday after being exposed as a £45,000 benefits cheat on YouTube.

PAUL ANDREWS, 52, known to millions of rock fans as Paul Di'Anno, had claimed he could not work due to a bad back.

But the married dad of two was still touring the world with his own band - and investigators found clips of more than 50 live shows dating from 2004 to 2007 on the website.

Tattooed Andrews, who was sacked by heavy metal legends Maiden in a drugs row in 1981, admitted eight frauds.

Bad news, man ..... :laugh2:

Social networking sites make the fraud investigators' lives sooo much easier! All those drugs have addled his brain if he thought he could carry out a sustained fraud for 7 years whilst blatantly posting videos on the internet and not eventually get caught:bored:
