Upon opening my email today I came across the unsettling news of Bruce Dicknson's very recent bout with cancer. From what I know of Bruce's character, he is a fighter, and will not let this beat him. I wish him a very speedy recovery, and hope to see and hear him in Toronto with Iron Maiden in the near future. UP THE IRONS!
Please read the official statement released on the Iron Maiden facebook page:
"Just before Christmas, Maiden vocalist Bruce Dickinson visited his doctor for a routine check-up. This led to tests and biopsies which revealed a small cancerous tumour at the back of his tongue. A seven week course of chemotherapy and radiology treatment was completed yesterday. As the tumour was caught in the early stages, the prognosis thankfully is extremely good. Bruce’s medical team fully expect him to make a complete recovery with the all clear envisaged by late May. It will then take a further few months for Bruce to get back to full fitness. In the meantime we would ask for your patience, understanding and respect for Bruce and his family’s privacy until we update everyone by the end of May. Bruce is doing very well considering the circumstances and the whole team are very positive."
