Replacing Nicko?

If Nicko couldn´t do 2025 tour, they will use a replacement drummer, because cancelling a whole tour just a few months before the start would be too much of a financial loss.

Also, as much as I love Nicko, he is just done... There is no way he can do the 80s catalogue justice one year from now. :(

His biggest problem after the stroke is not really the need to simplify the fills etc., but it´s sadly the most important thing for a drummer and that´s lack of groove. He sadly doesn´t have it anymore, because his limbs doesn´t work as they did pre-stroke.

The best example is the drum intro of "The Prisoner" where he plays the thing, but cannot find the right groove.
 
I would be disappointed if Iron Maiden went down in history as the nepotism band that chose the nephew over the most experienced and respected drummers.
