Known for his soaring vocals and larger-than-life stage presence, Bruce has helped shape the sound and spirit of heavy metal for generations. His voice powered some of Iron Maiden’s most iconic albums – including The Number of the Beast, Powerslave, and Seventh Son of a Seventh Son. In addition to his work with Iron Maiden, Dickinson has forged a powerful solo career with critically acclaimed albums such as Balls To Picasso, Accident of Birth and The Chemical Wedding, further showcasing his depth and range as a musician. This summer he will embark on his first extensive North American solo tour in almost 30 years in support of his current studio album The Mandrake Project.
