LONDON (CelebrityAccess) — Bruce Dickinson, best known for his role as the lead vocalist of heavy metal icons Iron Maiden, announced he’s got a forthcoming solo album along with plans for a European solo tour in 2024.
The album, which will be released under Dickinson’s The Mandrake Project rubric, includes singles such as ‘Afterglow of Ragnarok’ and Dickinson’s original solo demo version of the song ‘If Eternity Should Fail’, which first appeared on Iron Maiden’s album The Book Of Souls in 2015.
“It was important to set the tone of the project with this track,” Dickinson explains. “As befitting its title, it’s a heavy song and there’s a great big riff driving it…but there’s also a real melody in the chorus that displays the light and shade that the rest of the album brings… and just wait until you see the video!”
The tour kicks off on May 18th at the Barrowland Ballroom in Glasgow and concludes with a performance at Instanbul’s Kucukciftlik Park on July 19th.
The tour follows the announcement of Brazilian and Mexican dates in April and May and will see Dickinson supported by a band that includes guitarist Roy Z, drummer Dave Moreno, bass-player Tanya O’Callaghan and keyboard maestro Mistheria.
