Blaze Bayley has left his own band due to "financial and medical reasons".

The former Iron Maiden and Wolfsbane frontman released a statement postponing all upcoming UK dates until the end of the year.

The statement said: "Dear fans, due to financial and medical reasons, I've been forced to part ways with the Blaze Bayley Band. I will give a full statement in the next few days about my future plans. I hope that all my fans will keep on supporting me in my further projects."

"The English dates will be postponed to December but the festivals in Germany, Sweden, Lithuania and the show in Istanbul will definitely proceed!"

The 47-year-old singer, who was born in Birmingham, was the original front-man in heavy metal band Wolfsbane, but left in 1994 to replace Bruce Dickinson as the lead singer of Iron Maiden.
