Videos and setlist of Nicko McBrain’s final show with Iron Maiden

After more than four decades the Iron Maiden drummer Nicko McBrain decided to leave the band. He first joined the group in 1982 after Clive Burr was fired, and since then was part of all the band’s releases. In the beginning of 2023 he suffered a minor stroke that left the right side of his body paralyzed and he had the chance to recover more than 70% of the movements, but as he said in interviews during this year, there were some songs he couldn’t play the same way anymore. Last saturday he announced that Maiden’s final 2024 show, which happened in São Paulo, Brazil, would be his final one with the band. His final song with the group live was the classic “Wasted Years”.

To replaced him, the group picked Simon Dawson, who is for 12 years already, a member of Steve Harris’ side project British Lion. He is also known as a session drummer and also played with the British Pop/New Wave band The Outfield.
