Bruce Dickinson is best known as frontman for the multi-million selling giants of heavy metal, Iron Maiden, with whom he has enjoyed worldwide success for 25 years. However, his story outside of Maiden is equally remarkable. Prior to joining that band in 1981 for their seminal, multi-million selling Number Of The Beast LP – one of the most influential records in the history of Heavy Metal – Dickinson enjoyed stardom with fellow New Wave Of British Heavy Metal artists Samson, while his post-Maiden solo career has brought much critical success. Further
away from his day job, Dickinson is a true renaissance man. A
world-class fencer and member of the British Fencing team, he also hosts
his own show on flagship digital radio station, BBC 6Music, is a
best-selling fiction author, a keen military historian, and TV presenter
for the Discovery Channel and Sky One. Dickinson is also employed by the
commercial airline Astreus as a first officer, when his bulging Maiden
schedule allows, and even participated in a mercy mission to rescue
British residents from Beirut during the summer of 2006. This book tells his story for the first time, through exclusive interviews with those who know him best: from his formative days straddling the upsurge of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, all his time in Maiden, through his solo years and the many extra-curricular projects he loves, right up to the present day, where Iron Maiden are rightly considered legends of music worldwide. |
