Iron Maiden themselves and manager Rod Smallwood have given their blessing and backing for the charity CD.
The Bolton Evening news headline is fitting " Iron Maidens unite" "Rock giants back charity CD"!

Shortly after Ian's death, his parents wanted to buy a bench for Christies Hospital in Manchester in his memory. Sadly this never happened. The Bolton Iron Maiden are hoping to sell enough CD's to make that bench the first purchase.
Rather than having a plaque, they are having musical notation carved on the back of the bench. A permanent tribute to him. If there are any other proceeds from sales of the CD the band will then share all profits with Cancer Research and Macmillan Nurses Cancer Care.

Beak was not the only close friend to die from this terrible disease, both his parents eventually suffered from cancer. Tony Fearn who was the first singer with the band, and helped to pen "Cracked Path" also died from cancer on 9th September 2001 , so it is only fitting that the proceeds go to these worthy cause's.

Footnote : All Profits from the CD's will be split equally between Cancer Research and Macmillan Nurses Cancer Care
