Iron Maiden‘s poster for their current Book of Souls tour has been deemed too frightening for children in Lithuania, prompting authorities to ban the advertisements. The poster, which you can see below, shows band mascot Eddie holding a bleeding heart in one hand while his eyes glow red and he snarls at the viewer.
Live Nation lawyer Mindaugas Paukštė told Delfi, “We received a letter that should stop advertising because it scares children – at the moment we think, how to behave, but, most likely, will have to remove the posters.”
There hasn’t been a replacement image made public yet for how they’re going to promote this show. However, given how big the band is across the globe, I’m pretty sure they’re not going to be hurting on ticket sales.
