Bruce Dickinson Of Iron Maiden Did A TED Talk
Iron Maiden frontman, entrepreneur and airline pilot Bruce Dickinson looked back on his battle with throat cancer as a “gift” in a recent TED Talk. Watch the video below…
Dickinson has always been a doer – and one of the world’s busiest people. During the near-18-minute virtual presentation, the singer discussed his heavy metal triumphs, his developing green energy business, his wildly successful Trooper beer (with Iron Maiden and Robinson Brewery) and how he moved forward when his life seemed to be falling apart.
Beyond surviving throat cancer in the last decade, Dickinson suddenly lost his estranged wife Patti Boyden, the mother of his three children, a year ago in what authorities described as a terrible accident.
Addressing the myriad tragedies of the COVID-19 pandemic, Dickinson explained that he tries to think of setbacks as “nature’s cattle prod” – challenges which force creative solutions.
