For all you "Up the Irons" fans...

Bruce Dickinson is hinting at a new solo album and a new album by Maiden!!!!!!!!! Which means one thing: WORLD TOUR!!!!!!

The singer known worldwide as The Air Raid Siren had hinted at the idea of a new solo album and more music from Iron Maiden when he was in London promoting his yet to be released autobiography, What Does This Button Do?

When asked by fans how the legendary British heavy metal band from the East End had managed to outlive most other metal bands, he compared the band to Goldilocks and the Three Bears. "The porridge has to be just right. We’re fragile little organisms, really. Even though we have loads of trucks and make lots of noise and things like that, the relationships in the band are quite fragile."

He further explained that "We're all born of the same mothership, which is Iron Maiden, and our loyalty is primarily to Maiden and probably then to each others. Which makes life really kind of easy in terms of getting on with your fellow bandmates because you give everybody space. ‘Cause we realize that we're all there together to do the same thing – which is to deliver an amazing Iron Maiden show or an amazing Iron Maiden record, or do whatever it takes to do that. So that's the secret."
