Nicko McBrain retires

I attended Nicko's final concert in São Paulo. It was a very emotional evening, though it was clear he struggled with many songs, even with the simplified arrangements (the performance of "Iron Maiden" was particularly off). It reminded me of those later Sabbath concerts with Bill Ward.

During the show, Bruce stated that the band will return to Brazil in two years. Based on that, I would expect Maiden to keep performing at least until 2026 or 2027.
