Music N' More: Iron Maiden vocalist Bruce Dickinson through the years

Everyone gets older. Some age gracefully. Others age like sour milk. Here are some photos to show Bruce Dickinson through the years. By the way, the photos used will be different than the photos used on the link. The only reason for that is I would have had to download all the photos and it's much easier to simply look for photos elsewhere.

Here is some info you may or may not know about this iconic Iron Maiden vocalist

Birth name: Paul Bruce Dickinson

DOB: 8/7/1958

Where: Worksop, Nottinghamshire, England

-Started trying to obtain his pilot's license in the late 1990s. Is now a fully licensed commercial pilot. His love of flying was inspired by the fact that his family had served in the RAF (Royal Air Force, for those who may not know)

-His love of music and dreams of becoming a musician started while he was at boarding school. He heard "Child in Time" by Deep Purple blaring out of another student's room. And when performing with a small band at school, he heard a student struggling to hit the high notes on The Beatles' "Let It Be". He stepped in to bolster the student's high notes and discovered he himself could hit the high notes. That told him right there he was destined to sing for a living

-He has three kids. The oldest is son Austin Dickinson, singer for alternative metal band As Lions, daughter Kia Michelle Dickinson and youngest son Griffin Dickinson, singer for alternative metal band SHVPES. All three of his children he had with second wife Paddy Bowden, who recently passed away from unknown reasons

He started out singing lead for hard rockers Samson before being lured away to higher success with Iron Maiden, who had just lost their first vocalist, Paul Di'Anno

1980

Still fronting Samson at the time
