Iron Maiden singer Bruce Dickinson is loving his spoken-word tour: 'I can outdo Spinal Tap very easily!'

Bruce Dickinson is used to performing in arenas and stadiums as the lead singer in the English heavy-metal band Iron Maiden. But for his 2022 North American spoken-word tour, the veteran singer, throat-cancer survivor, author, airline pilot, motivational speaker, radio host, beer brewer and competitive fencer is happily appearing in smaller venues.

"I don't tell jokes, thank God," he clarified. "I'm terrible at telling jokes! But I do tell funny stories."
