Nicko McBrain

I don't see any problem with someone like Bruce or Nicko charging for such meetings. Sure, it doesn't fit the brand they've spent years building, but on the other hand, if anyone should charge for meetings, it should be someone with their track record, not a 20-year-old crypto bro or something. It's better than lurking in the bushes outside hotels while they try to relax before or after a concert.
 
Back in 1982 I went to a record store where Maiden made an appearance to sign authographs before their show later that night. Got everyone's sig, of course there was no fee back then. If you go to these conventions now you will see dealers with hundreds of celeb photos and autographs charging whatever. So I have no problems with celebs charging at these functions.
