Bruce Dickinson Blasts Rockstars Who Should Retire: "They're No Longer Legends!"
Bruce Dickinson, lead singer of Iron Maiden, made a harsh statement about the world of rock: some stars need to retire when their voice can't take it anymore. For him, anyone who can no longer deliver what they promised does not deserve the title of legend.
In an interview with Kerrang!, Dickinson praised the departure of drummer Nicko McBrain for physical reasons and criticized those who continue on stage even with their voices destroyed. "They're not legends. They're people who can't sing anymore," he said.
The 67-year-old singer is still on the Run for Your Lives tour with Maiden, but recognizes that one day the time may come to stop. A sincere and brutal opinion from one of the biggest names in heavy metal.
