Bruce Dickinson's cancer

[Sephiroth]

Did anyone here know about him having cancer and undergoing treatment?

I just literally found out about it (I know Ive been tuned out)

It sounds like he's in early recovery and it's too soon to know his long-term health

[Mudlark]

Yeah, it's ugly news. I heard of it about 2 weeks ago.

[Vass]

It sounds like the HPV type, which has a much better rate of cure than the others.

You get it basically by being a champ and doing the right thing

[MartinBarre]

Sounds like it has actually caused him a lot of physical pain, although the new album is done IIRC. Poor Brucey, guy's a legend in my eyes.

My eyes too. I was super bummed when I heard but once I got a sense of what kind he had I felt a lot more optimistic.

He would have gotten radiation and chemo if that's the case, and I don't think I can imagine just how unpleasant radiation would be in that area. Not like you can keep it still afterwords.

He IS a legend.

Not many can say they've had the kind of long careers as Maiden has had.

Hopefully kicking *ss for a few years yet!

[straycat]

Hope he kicks it.

[Catharpin]

Glad I caught their show the last time they were around. I hope he recover fully.

I'm more interested in Paul Di'Anno...Bruce, not so much

You mean nowadays? Have you heard DiAnno singing lately? He's worse than Vince Neil.

[MartinBarre]

Bruce got the all clear yesterday, nice one!

[shramiac]

Yeah great to hear. Back on tour next year!

[Sephiroth]

Good!

I know they're getting up there in years but hopefully they have one more good tour left in them.

[Force]

Awesome news, new album this year, tour next year.

I knew he'd be ok, gods don't die.
