\"\"Last month it was revealed Iron Maiden<\/b> vocalist Bruce Dickinson had completed treatment<\/a> for a small cancerous tumour at the back of his tongue.<\/p>\n

Iron Maiden<\/b> co-manager Rod Smallwood has now shared an update on Dickinson’s condition. Smallwood states the vocalist is still in pain and use tramadol<\/a> due to the after effects of radiology treatment. However his prognosis continues to be positive and a full recovery should be made by the end of May.<\/p>\n

Rod Smallwood’s statement read:<\/p>\n

“Bruce has asked me to thank everyone for their tremendous support and kind wishes. He has been extremely touched and encouraged by the genuine and affectionate response from our global family of Maiden fans.<\/i><\/p>\n

Radiology is cumulative and continues to build in the body for around three weeks after treatment, so even though Bruce\u2019s seven week course is completed, he\u2019s had a long period of considerable pain and discomfort. He is happily now starting to recuperate and the pain will continue to abate and the swelling to reduce for the next couple of months at which time he will be able take an MRI scan. It is not until then that we will have full confirmation that the cancer has been completely destroyed. However prognosis continues to be extremely good and everyone is optimistic for a full recovery. Following the scan, we will officially update you on this website at the appropriate time, probably in late May.<\/i><\/p>\n

After that, it will take a few more months for Bruce to get back to full fitness. Naturally the rest of the band are totally supportive and Maiden\u2019s plans will be determined by Bruce\u2019s progress.<\/i><\/p>\n

Please continue your positive thoughts. They are very much appreciated.”<\/i><\/p>\n

Drummer Nicko McBrain stated last month<\/a> that a new album was completed but would not be released until Dickinson had made a full recovery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
