During a recent appearance on SiriusXM‘s “Trunk Nation Virtual Invasion”, IRON MAIDEN frontman Bruce Dickinson was asked whether he would like to work on a new solo album to follow up 2005’s Tyranny Of Souls.
“Not only would I like to. I’ve got a work in progress right now that’s been kind of on and off, on the backburner, for, well, three or four years now,” he responded. “And basically, since the pandemic happened, I may have had loads of time, but I can’t go to America to do it — to finish up the writing for it, start the recording process and all that stuff. So I’m just waiting for Uncle Joe to let me into America.”
During a 2019 interview with Argentina’s Clarin magazine, Dickinson said that he planned to release new solo album in 2020, which due to the pandemic didn’t happen.
“I’m very busy, after the show in Chile I go to London, I arrive at 7 in the morning, I take a shower, from there I go to a conference with engineers, then I wear a f*cking black tie to attend a charity dinner; The next day I have a conference, then a meeting with potential investors for my company and I will finally go to a pub with my children.
“On Saturday we will meet again, then I go to Paris, where I live with my wife, and on Monday I start training f*ncing, until Thursday,” Bruce continued. It’s going to be my return to training after I broke the Achilles tendon f*cking.
“I also have some workshops, in Zagreb, in Vienna, and then another in London, and then I go to Canada to participate in the tribute for the 50 years of the DEEP PURPLE. I also have my solo album pending, which will be released next year or the next.”
