“I was spotty, wore an anorak, had biro-engraved flared blue jeans with ‘Purple’ and ‘Sabbath’ written on the thighs, and I rode an ear-splittingly uncool moped. Oh yes, and I wanted to be a drummer…”

This is the long-awaited memoir from the larger-than-life, multifaceted lead vocalist of Iron Maiden. Pioneers of Britain’s nascent rock and metal scene back in the late 1970s, Iron Maiden smashed its way to the top, thanks in no small part to the operatic singing style and stage presence of its longest-serving lead singer, Bruce Dickinson. As Iron Maiden’s front man Dickinson has been, and remains, a man of legend.

“Illuminating and very entertaining…a compelling read about someone who is much more than just the guy who sings for Iron Maiden.”—Loudwire

“A chatty and anecdote-filled autobiography”—Sunday Times of London Books of the Year
