Paddy Bowden’s son has broken his silence after his mum’s and tragic death.
Iron Maiden star Bruce Dickinson’s estranged wife Paddy was found dead yesterday at her former family home.
The 58-year-old is reported to have died in a “tragic accident”, and her devastated son Austin Dickinson has said he “doesn’t have the words to say” after losing his mum.
Austin, 29, posted a statement to his Instagram story, sharing it with his 6k followers on the social media platform.
He wrote: “By now a lot of you have seen the news. My mum has tragically passed away, I haven’t even got the words to say right now and I ask for privacy and respect for myself and our family.”

Iron Maiden frontman Bruce said after finding out about his former wife’s 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.

Bruce 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 legend 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.
