Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden) - rakovina

Zpěvákovi britských Iron Maiden Bruci Dickinsonovi byl objeven malý tumor u kořene jazyku. Podstoupil léčbu, která včera pravděpodobně úspěšně skončila.

Kapela vydala následující prohlášení:

"Just before Christmas, MAIDEN vocalist Bruce Dickinson visited his doctor for a routine check-up. This led to tests and biopsies which revealed a small cancerous tumour at the back of his tongue. A seven-week course of chemotherapy and radiology treatment was completed yesterday. As the tumour was caught in the early stages, the prognosis thankfully is extremely good. Bruce's medical team fully expect him to make a complete recovery with the all clear envisaged by late May. It will then take a further few months for Bruce to get back to full fitness. In the meantime, we would ask for your patience, understanding and respect for Bruce and his family’s privacy until we update everyone by the end of May. Bruce is doing very well considering the circumstances and the whole team are very positive.
