Dickinson 'Singing Better Than Ever'

Iron Maiden fans can expect the group's new album “The Book of Souls” to feature killer vocals from Bruce Dickinson. In a new interview with UK magazine “Kerrang!” about the band's new disc and Dickinson's cancer diagnosis, bassist Steve Harris revealed that Dickinson sounds “better than ever.”

Iron Maiden recorded their new album in late 2014 and in February of this year the group announced Dickinson had a cancerous tumor on the back of his tongue. Even though the timings of these events were close together, Harris stated that no one knew of or even suspected Dickinson's diagnosis while recording. 

The group delayed the release of “The Book of Souls” to let Dickinson recuperate. Since then the singer has been given the “all clear” by doctors and Iron Maiden has set a Sept. 4 release for the album. With the release of their new album, the bassist revealed that fans can expect a new tour from the group as well.
