Currently on a spoke word tour in North Anmerica, Iron Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson can be seen and heard in the clip below belting out an a cappella version of "Stranger In A Strange Land" during one of his recent shows. The song is taken from Iron Maiden's 1986 album, Somewhere In Time.
Split into two parts, the first section of his spoken word tour sees Bruce taking a humorous and often satirical look at the world from his own very personal perspective, treating the audience to private insights into his drive and ambition, peppered with plenty of Maiden anecdotes, and a myriad of other experiences encompassing not just the giddy heights but also the extreme lows, told first-hand in his inimitable anarchic style, punctuated with photographs and sometimes even erupting into song a-capella, to illustrate a point.
The final section of the evening is devoted entirely to a Q&A session, with the opportunity to pose questions on any subject whatsoever. As Bruce’s answers will all be completely improvised – the more left-field and quirky the question, the more interesting and compelling the response is likely to be!
