Bruce Dickinson
Bruce Dickinson (Paul Bruce Dickinson, nacido el 7 de agosto de 1958 en Worksop Notts, Inglaterra) es el vocalista principal en la banda de heavy metal Iron Maiden que entró para sustituir a Paul Di'Anno en 1982, se inició en Iron Maiden con unos conciertos en unas carpas de circo italianas. Hasta antes de unirse a ellos en 1982 para grabar The Number of the Beast, fue el cantante de Samson, donde era conocido por el nombre de Bruce Bruce debido a un sketch de Monty Python (al ingresar en Iron Maiden el mánager de éstos le hizo usar su nombre original) . Pero sus comienzos en la música se remontan a su época con Styx en 1976, de ahí pasó a cantar en Speed desde 1977 a 1978 y cuando este grupo se separó se unió a Shots hasta el verano de 1979.
Además de cantar también escribe, practica esgrima olímpica y pilotea Boeings 757 para la empresa de aviación Astraeus con el rango de Oficial Primero .Tiene un nivel tocando la guitarra por encima de la media, como se puede ver en el vídeo en directo de Iron Maiden Live After Death o en varios otros vídeos musicales de su carrera en solitario. Estudió historia en el Queen Mary and Westfield College de la Universidad de Londres, y fue un miembro activo de partido conservador de su Reino Unido natal.
Actualmente presenta 'Rock Show' en una emisora de radio de la BBC inglesa que se especializa en el rock alternativo, y también está encargado del programa Masters of Rock (Maestros del Rock) en otro dial de la misma radio. También fue el protagonista del documental Flying Heavy Metal del canal Discovery Channel en el que combina sus dos grandes aficiones: los aviones y el metal.

SOMEWHERE BACK IN TIME WORLD TOUR 2008
This first leg of Iron Maiden's 'SOMEWHERE BACK IN TIME' World Tour will open in Mumbai India on Feb 1st, and continue through Australia, Japan, Los Angeles and Mexico, followed by the band's first ever concerts in Costa Rica and Columbia, and then on to Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Puerto Rica and New York, before finishing in Toronto, Canada, on March 16th. Over the 45 day period it is anticipated that Maiden will play to well over 400,000 fans in 21 cities in 10 countries, flying close to 50,000 miles in the specially refitted plane (full schedule below).
Comments Bruce Dickinson, "I have been flying commercial passenger jets for Astraeus Airlines for a few years now and we are commissioning an Astraeus Boeing 757. It will go in for overhaul, painting and conversion in November which will then give us time to ensure we have all the necessary safety documentation, especially with regard to fire safety. It also means it could possibly be flying commercial air routes decked out in Maiden colours for a couple of months before we start!
"Looking at the list of places we would like to play we have always had problems joining up the dots. With sea containers in various places it slows down the whole touring process, which is fine if you want a holiday but not if you want to play. It's great to see places but we don't want to sit around for a week waiting for gear to get from, say, Australia to South America, so this way we can get to more fans in more places en route in the same time period"
To tie in with forthcoming 2008 releases on DVD of the classic 'LIVE AFTER DEATH' concert video (full details coming soon) this tour, aptly entitled 'SOMEWHERE BACK IN TIME', will revisit the band's history by focusing almost entirely on the 80's in both choice of songs played and the stage set, which will be based around the legendary Egyptian Production of the 1984-85 'Powerslave Tour'. This will arguably be the most elaborate and spectacular show the band have ever presented, and will include some key elements of their Somewhere In Time tour of 1986/7, such as the Cyborg Eddie.
Steve Harris comments "l always loved the Powerslave show which I think was arguably our most spectacular ever, so taking it out again is really going to be a lot of fun. Taking our own 757 really makes it a lot more flexible for us and we intend to ram into the specially constructed cargo holds as much of the show as we possibly can. The schedule we have been able to put together due to this flexibility l think is very exciting, taking us to some places we haven't been in a long while like Australia and some we have never been to like Columbia and Costa Rica. It is always refreshing going to new places and we hear the fans there are incredible! It's a lot of flying but will be well worth it.
"As always when planning these tours we sadly aren't always able to get to everywhere that we'd like to for various logistical and timing reasons and there are probably fans out there who might be disappointed. We promise we will try even harder the next time around to get to those places."
