"We kept saying 'oh man, Anj would have loved this, it should be all three of us here'."We contacted Blaze's management, reaching for the stars," he said."We were over the moon to hear he was more than happy to be involved. Anj would be speechless. "One of his favourite singers is going to be singing for him… he would be elated." Bayley said he was doing the gig for the right reasons and it was "nice to have been asked". He added: "The fiancée that I have right now went to the same school as Anj and she was an Iron Maiden fan as well of the same kind of era."It's nice to do something in a way that celebrates rather than mopes around." The singer added he did not do "many charity concerts"."But this one [I'm doing]... especially since it's happened to someone who [was] not just a fan of Blaze Bayley music and Iron Maiden, but someone who actually made music as well, and dying at such a young age it's so tragic." The gig is the second Mr Angeli has organised in his brother's of the money made through ticket sales will go to the charity. Follow BBC Hereford & Worcester on BBC Sounds, Facebook, X and Instagram.
