Bruce Dickinson’s Spoken Word Tour Graces Edmonton’s Winspear Centre [Photos]

Bruce Dickinson, metal god, pilot, entrepreneur, fencer, and a true Jack of all Trades, graced the Winspear Centre in Edmonton with his presence on Friday, March 18th, sharing an intimate evening of story-telling, laughter and crowd interactions with devoted Iron Maiden fans.

Dubbed “An Evening with Bruce Dickinson,” the metal icon’s spoken word show consisted of stories ranging from childhood to the early days of Maiden; Speaking candidly about his upbringing, his family in the early years, and his interests as a young Brit. Taking those gathered at the Winspear for a trip down memory lane, Bruce had his audience cheering, laughing and gasping as he told tales of what shaped him to be the man he is today.

Ending the evening by opening up the floor to the audience for a question-and-answer session, Dickinson answered any and all queries that his fans had to ask, and happily said his farewell with hints and promises to return to Edmonton again, but on a much bigger stage.
