Astraeus, the airline which Iron Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson works for, has gone into administration, which suggests he’s not done that great a job in his role as Marketing Director, to which he was appointed earlier this year. Although the company’s chief exec isn’t blaming him, saying that it was just “extremely bad luck”.

The company, for which Dickinson also works as a pilot, leases planes to other carriers, but, CEO Hugh Parry told the BBC, “lower than expected” business over the summer and various technical issues had caused the company’s income to decline.

The airline’s last flight flew from Jeddah in Saudi Arabia to Manchester Airport on Monday, piloted by one Bruce Dickinson.
