The TRUE Dick Brucinson
Let's collect hints for an upcoming Maiden event in 2023 HERE. 
A big thank you to @Samantas5855 who worked out the following summary. Whenever an update might be done by Samantas5855, I'll edit this post and will give the date along with it to make sure you won't miss anything.
*** September 15 2022 ***
What we have so far:
• Instagram Ad/Twitter thread advertising merch of classic albums with SiT font and a hidden message flashing briefly
• Day of the dead 2022 trooper features Stranger In A Strange Land eddie
• The Legacy Of The Beast art for the American leg has a background reminiscent of that the artwork in the centre of the SiT vinyl has, some constellations also match
• Jannick Gers' guitar tech Eddie Marsh posted on Instagram a photo of him tuning Jan's guitar at some venue with the caption "Somewhere on tour!"
• Jannick said this caption on the Tour Update video at 3:35
www.youtube.com
• Bruce saying somewhere in time and somewhere on tour during the final shows of the european leg, it was even uploaded on Maiden's youtube channel
1:25
I read here that Bruce also said We'll see you somewhere in time on Copenhell too, check at 5:15
On the Graspop gig he said "We'll see you all later, down on the road ... SOMEWHERE ... hahahaha" at 5:25

• This post by Stjepan Juras
• Nicko McBrain's Drum One posted a video with a Somewhere Back In Time Eddie tattoo and Caught Somewhere In Time as the background music on Instagram
• Nicko McBrain said that he thinks IM will play Alexander on the Senjutsu tour
At 20:20
• Juras also posted this along with a picture of a SiT vinyl autographed by Bruce in Oslo 1996 (text reads "I don't like this one much")
• On the promo video for the Curitiba show Trooper Eddie was replaced with Senjutsu eddie but the SiT Eddie rider remained
• The Brazilian shirt recreates the Women in Uniform cover with Margaret Thatcher replaced with Senjutsu Eddie, Eddie with the Trooper and there's a Carnival theme, what's important here is that the woman on the right has a cyborg Eddie skin
The 2019 Brazilian shirt also featured SIASL Eddie
• Kevin Shirley posted on Instagram and Facebook this picture with the caption "Sometimes..."
Some days earlier he also posted a picture of him mixing something on his laptop.
• Iron Maiden posted a picture of the venue in Rock In Rio with a VERY provocative caption and emoji
• Bruce said it again at 9:24

• Back in February Bruce's girlfriend posted a video of him singing Stranger in a Strange Land

Also, afaik a Senjutsu tour was never really anounced. Wacken 2023 is the only confirmed show and since this festival is so big they won't play Senjutsu in its entirety for sure.
Bruce also said during RiR 2022 that they'll be returning next year and then acted as if he shouldn't have said it.
"Brazil, have a great weekend, we love you, go home safe. Alright? We wanna see you all alive and well next year. Oh oop hahah"
RiR 2022 was proshot and live streamed as was Download Festival 2007 where Iron Maiden played for their AMOLAD tour and after the last song (HBTN) Bruce said:
"We'll see you later my friends, have a great (something) alright? haha Look after yourselves, you don't want anything to happen to you before next trololo summer, alright? We'll see ya haha".
Next summer was the Somewhere Back in Time tour.
There also seems to be a new Twitter account with not very subtle hints but I believe it to be fake
Debunked hints:
• 404 on the official website is cyborg Eddie: While true, as the internet archive proves us, this has been the case since at least 2016 therefore irrelevant
• Bruce saying they'll play Alexander and talking about it: Bruce has done this since 1999, especially in Greece thereforce also irrelevant
