Iron Maiden’s Bruce Dickinson has said the band are “never going to fucking retire” at an event with fans.
Speaking at ‘What Does This Button Do?’ – Dickinson’s one-man speaking show which included a Q&A with fans – Dickinson was asked by a fan what will happen after the current members retire.
Dickinson replied: “There’s always hope…there’ll be a whole load of Iron members. We won’t have…fucking holograms. You know what I mean? You can actually have real Iron Maiden members that kind of look like us but are not us.
“…Then we can just sit back and [collect] royalties and do no work…It’ll never happen, because we’re never going to fucking retire.”
The long-serving sticksman has refused to confirm a follow-up to 2015’s ‘Book of Souls’, but says fans should pay close attention to the band’s official website.
He told BackstageAxxess: “Watch this space: IronMaiden.com. That’s all I’ve gotta say.”
Meanwhile, the band’s guitarist Adrian Smith recently joined forces with Tool’s Justin Chancellor and System Of A Down’s Shavo Odadjian for a star-studded jam session.
The trio joined forces last weekend as part of an apparent birthday celebration for Smith’s wife Nathalie – with Odadjian sharing photos from the session on Instagram.
