Πέθανε ο γερμανός μουσικός Εντγκαρ Φρόουζε

Το κιτς ανάκτορο ενός θρύλου του χέβι μετάλ που απογοήτευσε τους θαυμαστές 

Ο μπασίστας του θρυλικού συγκροτήματος

 του χέβι μέταλ Iron Maiden, Στιβ Χάρις, αποφάσισε να πουλήσει

 την μεγάλη ιδιοκτησία του που βρίσκεται στην κομητεία

 του Εσσεξ.

 Οι φωτογραφίες που κυκλοφόρησαν από το μεσιτικό γραφείο προκάλεσαν

 την απογοήτευση των εκατομμυρίων θαυμαστών του Χάρις, που πίστευαν ότι θα

 έβλεπαν ένα σπίτι που θα ταίριαζε περισσότερο στην σκηνική εμφάνιση

 ενός μέλους συγκροτήματος του χέβι μέταλ. Αντί για ένα σπίτι γεμάτο με σατανικά

 σύμβολα και νεκροκεφαλές, οι θαυμαστές βρέθηκαν μπροστά σε ένα σπίτι

 αμφιβόλου αισθητικής που συνδυάζει διακοσμητικές τάσεις από όλες τις εποχές.  

Βέβαια, η ιδιοκτησία παρέχει πολλές ανέσεις όπως γήπεδα ποδοσφαίρου και

 τένις, εσωτερική πισίνα και γυμναστήριο καθώς και ιδιωτικό μπάρ. Δυστυχώς, όλα

 είναι διακοσμημένα με κακό γούστο, με τις τοιχογραφίες σε κάποιους χώρους

 να είναι άθλιες απομιμήσεις αρχαίων τοιχογραφιών. Οι έντεκα κρεβατοκάμαρες

 και οι κουζίνες μοιάζουν να έχουν βγει από προηγούμενες εποχές και το γεγονός

 ότι η ιδιοκτησία προσφέρει πολλές ανέσεις δεν ενθαρρύνει

 τους υποψήφιους αγοραστές, με αποτέλεσμα ο ιδιοκτήτης του να αναγκαστεί

 να ρίξει την τιμή του από τα 7 στα 5 εκατομμύρια λίρες.
