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 .....

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
