Non-Fiction Memoir
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.
