Iron Maiden drummer Nicko McBrain, who retired from touring with the band in 2024, recently announced his autobiography, “Hello Boys and Girls!”, and revealed spoken-word tour dates to promote the book. So far, only European dates have been announced, and he will visit Germany, the Netherlands, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Malta, Ireland and the United Kingdom.
“It’s been a real honour to write my very own autobiography and have the chance to walk down memory lane, revisiting all the experiences that have made me who I am and brought me to where I am today. And I’m thrilled and delighted to be taking those stories on the road and share them all with you. I feel truly blessed to be able to say Hello Boys And Girls to you all in person later this year. We’re going to have a lot of fun together, so come and join me for a great night out. I’ve got a LOT of stories I want to tell you all!” Nicko McBrain said.
