On January 19th, Iron Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson brought his spoke word tour to Helsinki, Finland. During the Q&A portion of the show he was asked about the status of his long-awaited new solo album. Check out the clip below.
Dickinson: "Soon. Obviously, there's gonna be a Maiden tour in between me finishing the album and then you hearing it later; I won't tell you when. It'll be a surprise. I'm very proud of it. I think it's gonna be quite special, I think you'll really dig it. There's some other stuff that I'm doing around it that's hopefully gonna be quite interesting as well."
