Bruce Dickinson considered new singer for Iron Maiden amid cancer battle

The 66-year-old metal legend had a tumour the size of a "golf ball" growing on his tongue and was also diagnosed with throat cancer in 2014, and he has admitted he wouldn't have wanted to continue fronting the group if his vocals were altered in any way.
