Bruce Dickinson (born 7 August 1958) is an English singer who is best known as the lead vocalist of the heavy metal band Iron Maiden. He began his career in music fronting small pub bands in the 1970s while attending school in Sheffield and university in London. In 1979, he joined British new wave heavy metal band Samson, with whom he gained some popularity under the stage name “Bruce Bruce” and performed on two studio records. He left Samson in 1981 to join Iron Maiden, replacing Paul Di’Anno, and debuted on their 1982 album The Number of the Beast. On the following albums, 1983’s Piece of Mind and 1984’s Powerslave, Steve Harris‘s song-writing monopoly was pushed aside in favour of other members’ ideas, with Dickinson contributing to a number of tracks, including the singles “Flight of Icarus” and “2 Minutes to Midnight“. During his first tenure in the band, they issued a series of US and UK platinum and gold albums in the 1980s and early 1990s, such as live album Live After Death, 1986’s Somewhere in Time, 1988’s Seventh Son of a Seventh Son, 1990’s No Prayer for the Dying and 1992’s Fear Of The Dark.
Dickinson quit Iron Maiden in 1993 (being replaced by Blaze Bayley) to pursue his solo career, which saw him experiment with a wide variety of heavy metal and rock styles. He rejoined the band in 1999, along with guitarist Adrian Smith, and has released six subsequent studio albums with the band. Since his return to Iron Maiden, he has released two further solo records, in 2005, Tyranny of Souls and The Mandrake Project in 2024.
Although Dickinson never received formal training, he possesses a wide vocal range which is characterised by his quasi-operatic tenor Along with Ronnie James Dio and Rob Halford, Dickinson is one of the pioneers of the operatic vocal style later to be adopted by power metal vocalists and regularly appears near the top in lists of the greatest rock vocalists/front-men of all time
