Metal, Hardcore, Indie, Rock
Iron Maiden may conclude their career with a performance as elaborate and star-studded as Black Sabbath’s farewell concert this year. In the latest edition of Metal Hammer, founding bassist Steve Harris was questioned about the possibility of the band departing with a tribute event akin to Back To The Beginning, which included a star-studded lineup, filled Birmingham’s Villa Park stadium, and generated significant charitable donations in July. He declined to dismiss the concept, noting that numerous fans have expressed a desire for the band to undertake a similar initiative.
We don’t tend to look back. I know we’ve had the book come out [referring to their recent 50th-anniversary compendium, Infinite Dreams] and we’ve been focussed on that, but normally we’re more interested in what comes next. It sounds like some people would like that to happen, but I don’t know. We’ll see.
