He went on to sing for Tiger in the mid-1970s, before being recruited into Samson – filling the gap left by Bruce Dickinson, who’d left to front Iron Maiden – in 1981.

His first stint with the band lasted three years, during which time they released two albums: 1982’s ‘Before The Storm’ and 1984’s ‘Don’t Get Mad, Get Even’.Moore left Samson shortly after the release of the latter album, but re-joined for a brief time in 1986, when he sung on that year’s ‘Joint Forces’ record.
