Iron Maiden singer competes in Grasmere fell race
(http://www.thewestmorlandgazette.co.uk/resources/images/2137720/?type=articleLandscape)Bruce Dickinson (right) sets off on the Guides Race
MEMBERS of heavy metal giants Iron Maiden partied for three days in the Lake District and ran for the hills as part of a traditional event.
Heavy-metal musicians Bruce Dickinson and Dave Murray were in Grasmere for the wedding of manager Andy Taylor’s daughter Louise.
Louise got married to Mark Christie at a church ceremony in Grasmere but the wedding party and their guests took over the Wordsworth Hotel and spa for three days — where they were treated to outdoor BBQs and rocked to a string of live bands from across the country.

Hi - He still is the lead singer for Iron Maiden, and a commercial airline pilot.
He's just been on Sky News - on the late business segment.

Cross my heart, that I didn't. I somehow knew it. I do like the older stuff of Iron Maiden, like Iron Maiden from 1981, favorite track is Running Free O0
-
My favorite is Hallowed Be Thy Name - a chilling song
-
Run to the Hills :)
Very apt. ;D
Not sure "Daughter to the slaughter" was a Christmas number 1 though...

I loved 'Running Free' too.
Remember them playing/miming it on top of the pops!
Now I feel old.
