The band recently discovered that Clive has been suffering from Multiple Sclerosis (an often devastating neurological/spinal disease of still unknown causes, and with no known cure), and have set up a trust fund on Clive’s behalf.
Along those lines, Maiden also recently announced that they are releasing a special, “strictly” Limited Edition of the original “Run to the Hills” (which featured Clive) on March 11, supplemented with a new live version of the song recorded last January when Maiden headlined the Rock In RIO festival.
According to www.ironmaiden.com (where you can go to make a donation to the trust fund and find out more about the London charity gigs), “both CD singles will also have exclusive material which has never been available before from Clive’s era with the band” and there will also be a special vinyl version available.

One of the band's simplest songs, it has Burr's memorable drum intro, and a very simple riff, but it's the melody of the chorus that makes the song what it is, again, driven home by Dickinson.
Clive Burr became increasingly unfocused during the 1982 North American tour, his sloppy playing and drunken behavior proving to be the final straw (he spent one gig puking into a bucket while playing).
