In a recent interview with Capnharris, retiring drummer Nicko McBrain of Iron Maiden discussed his inclusion on the list of members of the renowned British heavy metal band that will be inducted into the Class of 2026 of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, as per Blabbermouth. Along with the band’s current lineup, which includes singer Bruce Dickinson, bassist Steve Harris, guitarists Adrian Smith, Dave Murray, and Janick Gers, as well as former singers Paul Di’Anno and Blaze Bayley, former guitarist Dennis Stratton, and former drummer Clive Burr, Nicko will be inducted into the Hall of Fame. Nicko performed his last show with Iron Maiden in December 2024. Nicko responded as follows when asked how it feels to be admitted into the Rock Hall at last.
Mixed emotions. It’s a wonderful accolade to have regardless of the politics behind it all. And I personally think it’s a wonderful thing to have in terms of tipping the hat with the fans. Although it’s not voted for by fans — I don’t believe it still is; I know that’s their policy, was there was a board of guys that decided who made it and who didn’t. But, yeah, I think it’s a great opportunity. I can’t speak for everybody else, but that’s my feeling.
