Iron Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson said he was the victim of beatings regularly during his teenage years. He attended a boarding school in England during the ‘60s, where bullying was rife and there was nowhere to hide after the day’s lessons had ended. “I was on my own in boarding school and I got the shit kicked out of me on a regular basis. Like, every night,” Dickinson told The Quietus in a new interview.

Bruce Dickinson chastised fans who were smoking during his April 27 concert at the Opera Hall in Brasília, Brazil. The Iron Maiden frontman, who is out touring in support of his recent solo album, The Mandrake Project, became irate when air quality began affecting his performance. “I can’t fucking breathe. Tanya [O’Callaghan, Bruce’s bassist] can’t breathe,” the singer declared (as transcribed by Blabbermouth). The metal legend then directed his attention to one fan in particular. “You with the fucking vape over there. Yeah, it’s not you, but, please, fucking do that outside, all right? You kn...

Bruce Dickinson says he wanted to front Iron Maiden from the first time he saw the band in action. In a recent interview with Record Collector, the vocalist said he’d already heard about Steve Harris’ group when Samson, his own outfit at the time, hired them as openers for the show at the Music Machine, London, in May 1979. “We were headlining because our management had bankrolled the gig and said, ‘We want the top slot’ – although we didn’t really deserve it,” Dickinson recalled.

Bruce Dickinson has always zigged where most artists would zag. He was still flying high in Iron Maiden when he first went solo with 1990’s Tattooed Millionaire, putting his spin on the pop-metal du jour he openly loathed. He quit the group three years later and released a series of increasingly adventurous solo albums with guitarist and collaborator Roy Z. When Dickinson rejoined Maiden in 1999, he refused to go through the motions with nostalgia bait, instead crafting a series of quasi-conceptual epics that challenged fans and the band alike. Now, 19 years after his last solo effort, Tyranny...

The next time you’re hanging out in a graveyard, take a look at the man next to you. It may be Iron Maiden lead singer Bruce Dickinson. The metal legend was a guest on the German YouTube channel EMP where he discussed his views on creativity. “I think if you’re creative, then you just have to be aware of when creativity may strike and be prepared to abandon all those ordinary things that everybody else thinks are important for that special moment,” the singer explained, “which can be very frustrating for the rest of humanity when they want you to go to dinner, but you actually want to write th...
