No, we know for sure they haven't recorded anything.Bruce always says everything and its opposite. So, all is possible, even the fact that Maiden has already done and recorded another album.

Bruce's voice is not a problem. I mean, in 2022 he closed the set with Aces High, which is difficult for a 20 years old. All in standard tuning.
I don't think Bruce will lose more high notes at this point, but even in that case, they can still drop the tuning and he wouldn't has the smallest problem.
Nicko, on the other hand, is another matter. I'm sure he's not giving 100% every night of a tour (he said that in 1988 ) to keep the overall performance good, but he's only getting older and it's not gonna be easy. That being said, in Calgary last year Steve asked to slow down CSIT. Even after what he had Nicko is still capable of surprising.
I would say that he was talking about solo album.BRUCE DICKINSON Teases IRON MAIDEN's Post-POWER TRIP Plans: Fans Will Be 'Happy'
British heavy metal legends IRON MAIDEN have released a video message thanking fans for coming out to see them on the just-completed European leg of "The Future Past Tour". "The Future Past Tour" features previously unperformed songs from MAIDEN's most recent studio album, "Senjutsu", along with...blabbermouth.net
Where is Steve's signal to slow down?
That's the most likely scenario. My idea of them doing just one year of touring came up because it would make sense for them to release (and tour) a new album by 2026, sort of a 2003 tour. But it's very unlikely mostly because of the costs.I do find it curious that they had plans until 2026, I don't think 3 years of TFPT followed by 1 year of a new tour makes sense, which kinda makes me lean towards a new 2 year tour starting next year.
Assuming 2025 is a new tour (legacy or new album) and not a 3rd leg of Future Past, will they keep Alexander in the set list so that Greece can finally hear it?
I like the idea in theory but I don't think it works in practice. A setlist requires flow and pacing. You can't just play 10 10-minutes songs in a row, there has to be room to breathe. Playing too many epics will cut down on the number of songs played as well.If Maiden isn't going to do a new album tour in 2025, I hope they do something radical and wild for the hardcore fans like an "epics tour". They could play Alexander, Rime, Seventh Son, Dune, Hallowed, Phantom, Sign, and some reunion era epics they haven't played like Parchment and Nomad.
What legal issues?That ain't happening and that's before we consider legal issues with The Nomad.
The middle instrumental section is taken from the same song the stolen lyrics in Hallowed Be Thy Name are from. There aren't any legal issues at the moment, but those could arise if they were to tour with that song.What legal issues?
There's not enough time left for that, imo.I think Alexander is going to become a live staple
They settled those legal issues, though.
