Metal heads rejoice! Iron Maiden’s new album is all wrapped up, but the veteran rockers aren’t going to make a move until front man Bruce Dickinson has completely healed. Dickinson has recently been through a course of chemotherapy and radiology that lasted seven weeks after a small cancerous tumour was found on his tongue. While the treatment has been a success, the multi-talented vocalist still needs a few months to be at his best. Fans have been eagerly awaiting the launch of the 16th album from the metal maestros. Nicko McBrain, the legendary band’s drummer shared his thoughts in a recent interview, “We have made an album. The album was ready to go this year… And it still is. We were planning on going out and doing some work around the album, which now, we’re all just holding on, and once Bruce is up and running, hopefully in the next couple of months… You never know when this might happen. You just never know, do you?”
Here’s to wishing Mr Dickinson a speedy recovery.
