Some lucky fans will be able to witness Di'Anno take the stage a final time before he hangs up his microphone for good. He tells fans, "For anyone who doesn't already know - I am retiring.

"But, there are still have a bunch of shows to do, that could not physically be placed into 2013 - even though I was contracted to do them during that period. So there's those shows (here and there) mostly in far off places, that I'll keep my word to perform at.

"In the mean time - here are the 11 remaining shows for this year (making a total of 101 shows in 2013). Hope to see many of you metal heads at some of them."
