German Parents Cover Up Iron Maiden Billboard

The poster for Iron Maiden‘s The Book of Souls in the Kreuzberg district of Berlin has been covered with a sign reading 'This poster has no business being here'.

Parents at a nearby school complained that artist Mark Wilkinson's image of a Mayan-themed skeletal shaman figure was giving their kids nightmares.

The band's mascot, Eddie, has been a staple on all Iron Maiden’s album covers, while massive inflatable versions of the scary skeleton often appear onstage with the group.
