NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A long-awaited memoir from the larger-than-life multifaceted lead
vocalist of Iron Maiden one of the most successful influential and enduring rock bands ever.
Pioneers of Britain's nascent Rock & Metal scene back in the late 1970s Iron Maiden smashed
its way to the top thanks in no small part to the high-octane performances operatic singing
style and stage presence of its second but twice-longest-serving lead singer Bruce
Dickinson. As Iron Maiden's front man-first from 1981 to 1993 and then from 1999 to the
present-Dickinson has been and remains a man of legend. But OTT front man is just one of the
many hats Bruce wears. In addition to being one of the world's most storied and well-respected
singers and songwriters he is an airline captain aviation entrepreneur motivational speaker
beer brewer novelist radio presenter and film scriptwriter. He has also competed as a
world-class level fencer. Often credited as a genuine polymath Bruce in his own words (and
handwritten script in the first instance!) sets forth many personal observations guaranteed to
inspire curious souls and hard-core fans alike. Dickinson turns his unbridled creativity
passion and anarchic humour to reveal some fascinating stories from his life including his
thirty years with Maiden his solo career his childhood within the eccentric British school
system his early bands fatherhood and family and his recent battle with cancer. Bold honest
intelligent and very funny his memoir is an up-close look inside the life heart and mind of
one of the most unique and interesting men in the world a true icon of rock.
