Iron Maiden legend Bruce Dickinson’s estranged wife Paddy Bowden has been found dead.
The frontman, 61 and his wife split in November last year, 29 years after they tied the knot.
Paddy has been found dead at their former marital home in Chiswick, West London, following a “tragic accident”, according to The Sun.
Bruce said after finding out about Paddy’s tragic death: “This is a terrible tragedy which appears to be a tragic accident.
“Our children Austin, Griffin and Kia and I are devastated. Out of respect for Paddy we won’t be making any further comment at this hugely difficult and painful time for our family.”

London Ambulance Service also confirmed they had attended the property, and that the patient was pronounced dead on arrival.
A spokesperson said: “We were called at 9.42am today to reports of a person unwell in Barrowgate Road, Chiswick.
“We sent two ambulance crews to the scene – the first one arriving within two minutes.

“Sadly, the patient had already died.”
The singer now lives in Paris with fitness instructor Leana Dolci.
His marriage with Paddy ended four years after he beat stage 3 throat cancer.
The singing star was later given the all-clear after six months of intense chemotherapy and radiation treatment.

They share three children, Austin, 29, Griffin, 27, and Kia, 28.
Paddy and Bruce got married back in 1990 after being together romantically for two years.
Dickinson was reportedly a £45million divorce bill after starting his relationship with Liana.
He told Rolling Stone magazine that surfing cancer made him appreciate his life more.
Bruce said: “Living is living now, every minute, every second, for right now.”
