\"\"Iron Maiden<\/b> have announced frontman Bruce Dickinson<\/b> has been given the all-clear after being treated for a small cancerous tumour at the back of his tongue.<\/figure>\n

In a statement on the bands website, Dickinson shared the following comment:<\/p>\n

\u201cI would like to thank the fantastic medical team who have been treating me for the last few months, resulting in this amazing outcome. It\u2019s been tough on my family and in many ways it was harder for them than me. I\u2019d also like to send a heartfelt thanks to all our fans for their kind words and thoughts. I\u2019m a firm believer in trying to maintain a positive attitude, and the encouragement from the global Maiden family meant a great deal to me. Right now, I\u2019m feeling extremely motivated and can\u2019t wait to get back to business as usual, as soon as I can!\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n

Iron Maiden<\/b>’s manager Rod Smallwood goes on to say the band will not be playing any shows this year as Bruce will be concentrating on getting back to full health. Whilst he and the rest of the band are currently finishing a new album, which is expected to be releasted later this year.<\/p>\n

Rod Smallwood said:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are of course all absolutely delighted that Bruce\u2019s doctors have pronounced him free of cancer. Although Bruce is naturally eager to resume Maiden activities, it will take a while before he is completely back to full strength, as we explained previously. Because of this, the band will not be touring or playing any shows until next year. We know our fans will understand the situation and, like us, would prefer to wait until Bruce is back to his usual indefatigable levels of fitness before going out on the road.<\/i><\/p>\n

For now, the focus will be on putting the finishing touches to the new Iron Maiden studio album and that is what we will be concentrating on over the coming weeks. The release however will definitely be this year. Meanwhile, I\u2019d like to echo Bruce\u2019s words and thank all Maiden fans. You have been incredibly patient, putting Bruce\u2019s health and well-being first during this difficult time and the band and I appreciate all your positive support.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
