And Janick:

He is turning his back on the usual tour schedules, as well as the usual start times.

Do you understand why he loves these paid photo ops so much? I almost thought he would do a few dates in March for his spoken word tour about his biography. I understand that better, because he just loves telling people stories and anecdotes.

Sometimes you wonder why Bruce and Leana even get along with each other.

I think this is a great idea for a remarkable final album: finally add Eddie, the not-so-unimportant character, to the characters that appear in Iron Maiden songs!

I don't think that happened at all. I don't believe Live Nation would make such proposals to a huge band like Maiden, who plan their tours well in advance and know exactly which markets they want to target. The members of the official forum are making up all kinds of things that aren't true...

People often feel that something big and important is happening when they see headlines about it one week, then again the following week, and again the week after that, even if it's not really relevant to their personal plans. I think these kinds of tricks are used in marketing. At least, I...

Does anyone know where Wolf Hoffmann lives these days? Thanks in advance! <3 I'm curious because there's a trend of artists moving back to Germany from the US, like Doro. I wonder if that's the case with Wolf too. I know he moved to Nashville, then most recently to Florida, but now?

Why can't we have the opinion that the management is making mistakes? I think it would have been smarter to announce all the dates in September, one week Europe, then the next week North America, and so on. That could have created real hype for the tour, instead of a partial announcement here...

I still believe that you don't schedule such an extensive, exhausting tour for 2026 and then nothing for 2027 without a very specific, important reason. Otherwise, that would be the plan of a madman. You could also take a break to further reflect on the future without doing absolutely nothing...

I'm sure I read in this forum that Bruce might have hinted at releasing a video from his tour. I'm frantically searching for the quote, but I'm sure I'm not imagining things. I thought the end of the year would be a good time for this?

I don't think Iron Maiden had any influence on this documentary, which follows Paul's life.

To me this sounds as if views of people obsessed with Iron Maiden's retirement have even reached Steve. What a shame. I wish I were an insider and had a way to tell Steve that most people don't want that and that he should ignore it. (He's obviously not at the moment. He even mentioned it in an...

It's simply a fact that it's striking and strange that there will be a whole year without a tour, given that Steve emphasises his love of touring so much. I see two possibilities: First: He wants to make time for the next Iron Maiden album. Second: The statement was a little trick to boost...

I've wondered about that myself. It would be an easy way to make additional money. I think the fans would be fine with just Bruce, not the whole band. At first I thought that was the reason, but it's not really a very convincing explanation.
