Unfortunately they didn't write anything in the description. I left a comment on the video, maybe someone will answer.

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.

I donated 200. He is out of a job now, so we should all chip in.

It’s all semantics but Nicko says “when I left the band…” at the end of the interview, contrary to what Bruce said on stage. He also spent quite a bit of time talking about what he’s going to be up to in the future and none of it involves Maiden. Just interesting stuff.
Also if we take his timeline at face value, it seems like at the time of the Classic Rock interview he genuinely believed he would be joining Maiden on Run For Your Lives. Still kinda mind boggling to me.

I wouldn’t be surprised if someone within the Maiden hierarchy sat down (Steve/Rod) and had a word with him when it became clear that he wasn’t going to get better as the tour progressed, but allowed him to make his own decision about his future.
Probably went something like this.

As long as Nicko is content, then I am content. I want him to be as happy and healthy, and to enjoy the fruits of his labours for a long time. He's earned a great retirement.

Also, it's kinda clear at what point he hired a personal trainer. That should've been straight after Adrian's fallout show, where CSIT was pumped to stratospheric speeds by Nicko due to his fills.
I think that is where the words with him happened and Nicko made some changes (hired a personal trainer, started using IEMS, etc...), which made performances much better.
