"A flu-like virus"? Now I am worried because there apparently is nobody knowledgable around him. There are only viruses that cause "flu-like symptoms".

But a full recovery is the most important. I'd be sad but okay with it if my show will be cancelled.

He doesn't need to give us his medical records. Could be covid, could be something else. The important part is that he and some other folks are unwell and that the concert had to be cancelled so that they can recover. The next steps and exact details are for them to work out, they don't have to give us more information that that.

That's true. The only thing they should give out ASAP is the cancellations, so people don't travel for shows that won't happen. I think they will do that as soon as Bruce gets checked out by the doctor. If doctor says "no singing for a month" just do that. No need for permanent voice damage.

We have all seen what happened to Steven Tyler. Tanya has also seen what happened with Coverdale and half of the Whitesnake camp during the ill fated 2022 tour. This should be dealt with very carefully, with Maiden tour coming later this year and I'm sure Maiden managment will do everything to protect the Maiden tour, even if that means paying out the whole Bruce band and the crew.

Of course not. My point is that if you have knowledgable people around you, you normally pick up the correct (even if general and not revealing) language and not something nonsensical like in this statement.
But I hope the specialist he will see is competent.

I think with him being a head and neck cancer survivor, he has enough conections with highly competent people.
 
Digging up some very old news, but I was going through @IronCarnage 's bootleg repository, and was always curious about the South American '98 show where Maiden did no encore. Blaze said that was the first night where he got a little worried about his future in the band. Steve's story was that the crowd wasn't cheering, so that didn't warrant an encore. Blaze said there was plenty of cheering.

I'm assuming it was the Rio show in '98, since that bootleg ends at Iron Maiden, while the following two shows on IronCarnage's list are complete. While there's only a minute or so of post-drum bashing to end the song in the recording, the audience was going suitably bonkers. Unless that faded into nothing over the next few minutes...yeah, Blaze's story holds more water.

Sorry if this has been discussed--did a search on it, and it didn't come up with anything.
 
It is mentioned in "At the end of the day" book that it was Rio. The rest of the band went to the dressing room without Blaze, while he was standing by the side of the stage waiting for the Number of the Beast intro to kick in.

I found this on youtube:

Blaze Bayley was offended by some fans located on the front row during the whole night. He also misspelled the lyrics of some songs, as occurred earlier on that tour. The air conditioner system has failed and the whole place became as warm as a Finnish sauna (as everyone should know, in Brazil December is the warmest month alongside January).Because of that and some other alleged technical failures the band decided not to come back to the stage for the encore.

It propably wasn't just issues with Blaze causing the band to leave, maybe everything felt wrong.

Edit: At 13:10 Janick seems very upset with someone in the audience. I don't know what happened before that.

Thanks for verifying, I have At the End of the Day, just didn't happen to look it up. I don't remember Blaze mentioning the technical issues with the air conditioning, etc., but then again, haven't read the book in a long time. Steve's statement about not enough applause for an encore was what stood out enough for me to remember it, I suppose.

Sorry, but did you mean to post this in the Blaze thread? Never heard about this though. Interesting.

What if the original poster was suggesting that Bruce’s days fronting the Bruce Dickinson band are numbered? Truncated setlists like Maiden with Blaze in 1998… The writing could be on the wall!

That being said, I think it is more likely that a mistake was made when choosing the right thread for the original message.

Oh, that had something to do with Photoshop too! Good to know!
I've always admired the surgeon who removed Steve's third arm so perfectly that you couldn't see him having any difficulties live after the procedure. :bigsmile:

But the press statement actually surprises me a bit too, because even much smaller bands normally have it clarified that medically accurate language (not the same as indiscreet) is used in something like this.

But in any case, get well soon, Bruce!
