I confirm this information. Bruce has said that he didn't want a car anymore because he has all he needs to travel in Paris and in France : a bike, the subway in Paris, the train to go wherever in France and also planes in Roissy-Charles de Gaulles or in Orly for a trip outside of France. Thanks to Leana, he became more eco-friendly. :cool:

At this rate, he might be standing as a Green Party MP candidate at the next general election in the UK!




















Sarcasm over.

Around 20 minute mark, Nicko explains how he joined Maiden. And it makes sense why there was some misinformation when he played his first show with Maiden.

- He played with Maiden for the first time on 9th of January 1983, BUT he was on a retainer contract for most of 1982 (probably same contract as Joe Lazarus was rumoured to be on a few years back for insurance reasons) and WAS GETTING PAID by Iron Maiden

- If Clive remained in the band, Nicko would record an album with Gary Moore. Probably what would eventually become Victims Of The Future.

- He attributes the stroke to stress because of the double cataract surgery he was scheduled for on that day (19th January 2023) and the house robbery he experienced in 2022 while he was on tour.

At around 37 minute mark, Nicko openly talks about what he can't play anymore because of the stroke and why.

Nicko doesn't even have an adviser who explained the possible reasons for his stroke to him. Stress can be a trigger but certainly not the cause.
 
He's been getting trains for years, though. There's pics around of him on a local train in the South East from at least a decade ago, and he was whizzing about on the Metro then too.

At a guess, hes quit the fuel guzzling jets now though!
