Bruce Dickinson is for many the face of British heavy metal. As a rock vocalist he has scaled the heights of global commercial success, and is truly a member of the international metal elite.

Bruce cut his teeth in a succession of school bands before fronting Samson. Iron Maiden guitarist Steve Harris was impressed with Bruce's voice and when former vocalist Paul D'ianno left, Dickinson was the obvious replacement.

He's a published author, a trained pilot and a gifted fencer, and now Bruce has turned his hand to broadcasting.
