The future of Iron Maiden looks very bright – and busy

Iron Maiden’s official YouTube channel conducted “a quick catch-up” with singer Bruce Dickinson to inquire about the band’s progress during their July 5 performance in Madrid, Spain as part of their “Run For Your Lives” world tour.

We are halfway through the tour. First of all, I can’t even believe we’re halfway through the tour. That’s just ridiculous. It seems like we’re only just getting started. And in fact we are, but that’s another story for later. Yes. Spoiler alert. But no — it’s been amazing. It really has been amazing. London was just the show of a lifetime. And they don’t come along too often, moments like that. But everything — I mean, we played in Belfort, the first festival we played in France that wasn’t Hellfest. And Rod was, like, he said, ‘I couldn’t believe it. I saw 20 people going to the festival and nobody was wearing a Maiden shirt.’ And that’s the whole point. And we had the whole festival up and everybody was loving it and it was great. So now we are in Madrid and this is so sold out, it’s crazy. It’s gonna be a really, really hot show tonight. And I’m looking forward to it. And just everything, really. We’ve got all these great shows ahead of us, and a lot more stuff ahead of us I can’t talk about, except if I did, they’d have to kill me.
