Breaking news from the Iron Maiden camp, as it emerges that legendary vocalist Bruce Dickinson has undergone treatment for cancer.
A statement published today via their official website and social media accounts reads:
“Just before Christmas, Maiden vocalist Bruce Dickinson visited his doctor for a routine check-up. This led to tests and biopsies which revealed a small cancerous tumour at the back of his tongue. A seven week course of chemotherapy and radiology treatment was completed yesterday.”
“As the tumour was caught in the early stages, the prognosis thankfully is extremely good. Bruce’s medical team fully expect him to make a complete recovery with the all clear envisaged by late May. It will then take a further few months for Bruce to get back to full fitness.”
“In the meantime we would ask for your patience, understanding and respect for Bruce and his family’s privacy until we update everyone by the end of May. Bruce is doing very well considering the circumstances and the whole team are very positive.”
Our thoughts and well wishes are with Bruce, his family and the rest of Iron Maiden. We’re glad the outlook is positive and will keep you updated as and when the story progresses.
