Bruce Dickinson, lead singer of the heavy metal band Iron Maiden was recently treated for cancer, having endured several chemotherapy treatments for a growth found on his tongue in a routine check-up.
Iron Maiden first appeared in the 1980’s, elbowing their way through the throngs of “hair-bands” that littered the musical landscape of the time. The British act made a name for themselves with such songs as “Number of the Beast” and “Run to the Hills”.
Bruce and the band are optimistic and hope to hit the road and full-fill summer tour dates, but are asking fans to be “patient” as Mr. Dickinson works his way towards a full recovery.
