A collection of new stamps to honour Iron Maiden is being released by Royal Mail.
The 12 stamps Eight feature performances of Iron Maiden and all current members of the band, including guitarists Dave Murray, Adrian Smith, Janick Gers and lead singer Bruce Dickinson, drummer Nicko McBrain and bassist Steve Harris. The heavy metal band are the fifth music group to feature in a dedicated stamp issue – following on from The Beatles in 2007, Pink Floyd in 2016, Queen in 2020, and The Rolling Stones in 2022.
Four of the stamps pay homage to the band’s mascot Eddie, including him as a samurai warrior from their recent Senjutsu album. Bassist Steve said: Harris said: “We were all absolutely astounded – in a good way – when we heard first about the commemorative project, and equally pretty much speechless when we saw the stamps for the very first time.
