Fat Freddy Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Yikes! Best wishes to Bruce for a speedy recovery. Up the Irons! IRON MAIDEN's BRUCE DICKINSON Undergoes Cancer TreatmentBritish heavy metal legends IRON MAIDEN have released the following statement:"Just before Christmas, MAIDEN vocalist Bruce Dickinson visited his doctor for a routine check-up. This led to tests and biopsies which revealed a small cancerous tumour at the back of his tongue. A seven-week course of chemotherapy and radiology treatment was completed yesterday. As the tumour was caught in the early stages, the prognosis thankfully is extremely good. Bruce's medical team fully expect him to make a complete recovery with the all clear envisaged by late May. It will then take a further few months for Bruce to get back to full fitness. In the meantime, we would ask for your patience, understanding and respect for Bruce and his family’s privacy until we update everyone by the end of May. Bruce is doing very well considering the circumstances and the whole team are very positive."IRON MAIDEN is believed to be putting the finishing touches on its new studio album with longtime producer Kevin Shirley for a 2015 release.

Geoff Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 On the tongue? Holy shit. That'd be awful for anyone, obviously, but must be even scarier for a singer. Good luck to him and I wish him all the best for a complete, speedy recovery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
