Iron Maiden Frontman Bruce Dickinson Publishes Memoirs

 

Legendary Iron Maiden singer Bruce Dickinson to publish memoirs in time for Halloween

Very few bands have endured and thrived as strongly as heavy metal legends Iron Maiden have, amassing a massive international, multi-generational cult following and continuing to raise the bar for theatrical, fantastical, ultra-hard rock since 1975. Today, Dey Street Books have announced that they will be publishing What Does This Button Do?, the hugely anticipated memoir from Iron Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson.

One of the world’s most storied musicians, Bruce Dickinson has been the band’s internationally-acclaimed lead singer for more than 30 years, and quite aside from the decades spent delivering high-octane performances with his larger-than-life persona, Bruce has lived an extraordinary off-stage existence too. A true polymath, Bruce is, or has been, an airline pilot and captain, an aviation entrepreneur, a beer brewer, motivational speaker, film scriptwriter, twice-published novelist, radio presenter, TV actor and a world-class fencer.

Over the last couple of years, and throughout Iron Maiden’s The Book Of Souls World Tour, which has covered 39 countries and 117 shows since February 2016, Bruce has turned his unbridled creativity to writing his memoirs, longhand (in seven A4 notebooks no less). In What Does This Button Do?, Bruce (a man who famously  never gives interviews about his personal life) shares, for the first time, the most fascinating recollections, including his thirty years with Maiden, the early days, his childhood within the eccentric British school system, going solo, realizing his dream of flying jumbo jets and his recent battle with tongue cancer.

Bruce Dickinson is so much more than the frontman of one of the biggest bands on the planet. A rock icon, a true renaissance man, Bruce has been, and remains, a man of legend.

The U.S. publication on October 31st  of What Does This Button Do? will be accompanied with a commensurate international book tour. For more information and to pre-order the book, go HERE. And go to the official Iron Maiden website for all things heavy and awesome!
