What do you think: Will the 2025/2026 Run For Your Lives tour be their last?

I think so same, they omitted many European markets/cities in 2025, such as Greece, Turkey, Balcans, Romania, Bulgaria some festivals. I suppose they will add another year with some 20 dates as did in 2014 with Maiden England Tour.For me, there are various indications that point to a continuation of the tour in 2027, but none that point to retirement.
Maiden maybe many things but i think theyve got too much integrity to be replacing multiple members. Nicko at an absolute push but i think if it goes beyond that then theyll call it a day. Bruce has his solo career and Steve has BS if they want to continue. Also by Rods statement it seems they have no plans retire yet but are just playing it by ear i.e peoples healthIt all depends on Nicko. Steve has said in the past that they won't replace anyone, so this tour could be their last, only because of Nicko's form. They can play fewer and fewer shows per year to keep the lineup (the new tour will be big, especially the 2nd leg), but given their age it would be normal for them to want to retire. They always say they want to sound good live. Everyone bar Nicko is in great form. And I still feel they love playing live, probably more than ever now. Yes, incl. Dave. They won't continue with 2 guitars.
