Iron Maiden vocalist Bruce Dickinson made a surprise appearance at San Diego Comic-Con last night (July 23), joining Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong's rock and roll covers band The Coverups to perform Mott The Hoople classic All The Young Dudes.
The 67-year-old British metal icon's unannounced cameo at the event, a Fandom / Z2 Comics party launching the weekender, came five songs into The Coverups' 26-song set. Dickinson had previously covered the song, written by David Bowie and recorded for Mott The Hoople's Bowie-produced fifth album in 1972, on his 1990 solo album Tattooed Millionaire.
