Steve Harris was still a teenager when he formed Iron Maiden. This year, they celebrated their 50th anniversary with the massive Run For Your Lives world tour. Kicking off in May in Budapest, it marked the debut of new touring drummer Simon Dawson, brought in from Steve’s side-project, British Lion, following the news that Nicko McBrain would be stepping away from the road after 42 years.
The run also included a stop at London Stadium, home of Steve’s beloved West Ham, and boasted a setlist featuring rarely played favourites such as Murders In The Rue Morgue and The Clairvoyant. Oh, and did we mention they released a huge, glossy book called Iron Maiden: Infinite Dreams?
