Bruce Dickinson is now cancer free

We have some incredible news from Iron Maiden singer Bruce Dickinson today. After completing his round of chemo three months ago for a tumor that was found on his tongue,the singer announced on the band’s website that he is now free of cancer.

“I would like to thank the fantastic medical team who have been treating me for the last few months, resulting in this amazing outcome. It’s been tough on my family and in many ways it was harder for them than me. I’d also like to send a heartfelt thanks to all our fans for their kind words and thoughts. I’m a firm believer in trying to maintain a positive attitude, and the encouragement from the global Maiden family meant a great deal to me. Right now, I’m feeling extremely motivated and can’t wait to get back to business as usual, as soon as I can!”
