He's probably said it before - but the greatest live album for Bruce is Purple's Made In Japan.

"So we’re going in the studio with him in January, and we’re looking to release the album in 2027."

So, if Maiden records also new album, would they both (Bruce and Maiden) release it in the same year? I don't see in what timeframe Maiden guys could record it in 2026 (maybe autumn 2026), but if they do it in 2026 they surely would release their album in 2027.

They used to record in the spring and release in September-ish prior to the last 2 albums which were only delayed by Bruce's cancer and covid.

Saying that I can't see Maiden and Bruce going into the studio one after the other in early 2026.

Well, in 2021, Maiden and Adrian released albums in the same year. With Bruce's album, not that sure tbh, but who knows and when then?.
We can't know when Maiden will record, but if they plan to release it after the current tour (which would be normal), then both albums will be released in 2027, most likely right. Other options are next year after the tour (5 years gap, the last 2 albums were released in the fall, but the tour next year could be until then, so idk) and 2028, if 2027 is a 3rd leg.

Agreed. We have to see the dates, but it's tricky to say, for Maiden to record next year.
