Iron Maiden star Bruce Dickinson's secret love child says he cut me off and made me feel like I wasn't good enough

YOUNG Brittany Potts was terrified as she waited backstage to meet rock god Bruce Dickinson. But she was no star-struck fan. She is the Iron Maiden front-man’s love child from a fling he had in the…

Yeah, one step closer and you'd get burned. The Moon would be a reasonable compromise.
 
Isn't it true that, in the end, she was just a woman who pretended to be Bruce's daughter to draw attention to herself as a singer?
That would also explain why he's able to ignore her so completely. It would make more sense to me.
But I don't know.

Zero backs that up.

Things like this happen. I know a person, who found out he had an adult daughter and grandson. He initially was thrilled. No idea what happened afterwards, but the contact lasted only briefly and they are not in eachothers life at all, to my knowledge (nor have I found it fitting to ask).
 
They are really working hard on promoting the Knebworth gig here in the UK!

An epic interview with Iron Maiden’s Steve Harris and Bruce Dickinson

Two-fisted flamethrowers, tough support acts, the late Paul Di’anno and the next Maiden album – Bruce and Steve reveal all
www.loudersound.com www.loudersound.com

Is Eddfest just another gig for you, or does it mean something bigger?

Steve: “I think it’ll be an event. There’s the exhibition [the Infinite Dreams Experience]. And we’ve talked about different things relating to the songs, which I don’t want to give too much away about.


Bruce's favourite Maiden tour:

“The Brave New World tour. Why? Because it was that lovely hybrid moment of yes, some old stuff, and yes, some great new stuff, with an energised band. Everybody was at the top of their game, and everybody loves a comeback story.”


Can we expect a big, Live Aid-style singalong at the end of Iron Maiden’s set, with all the current and former members onstage?

Steve: [Looking pained] “No. That’d just be cheesy.”

Bruce: “No. Those kind of things make some people feel, ‘Oh great, what an event’, but musically usually it’s a mess.
I absolutely don’t have any problem with Blaze or any of those other guys on the bill – I love Blaze, he’s a fantastic guy. But we’re not planning on having Nicko playing three drums during the show or anything like that. No, people have paid money to see this incarnation of Iron Maiden. It will be an Iron Maiden set. This is the band, this is what you get.”

For such an event it would be cool and fitting.

A perfect and expected choice form Bruce. He wants to do the same now.
 
This whole "having former members on stage would be cheesy" argument is pure nonsense. It's just one song. Give Blaze a mic and a lantern, and he's good to go. I'm sure Bruce would tell him to watch his step as he climbs up the ramp. Or would he...?
