Bruce Dickinson, the lead singer of the iconic '80s heavy metal band Iron Maiden, will be stepping away from the stage to embark on a historic expedition. The announcement was made Thursday via Iron Maiden's Instagram account, prompting a wave of fan support as the band continues its 50th-anniversary Run for Your Lives World Tour.
Dickinson will be joined by his Psycho Schizo Blast podcast co-host, Professor Kevin Dutton, to support the opening leg of a rowing journey across the entire length of the British Isles. This "extraordinary, world-first expedition" is a major charitable effort designed to advocate for and raise funds for children's mental health.
