IRON MAIDEN Singer: 'We're Very Pleased That The Paparazzi Find Us Utterly Uninteresting'

May 9, 2008

Hilary Whiteman of CNN reports: It's nothing short of astounding that after thirty years on stage and millions of album sales, IRON MAIDEN's band members enjoy a level of anonymity unheard of in the modern-day music scene.

It helps that they don't court the press and that the only face that has ever appeared on their album covers belongs to "Eddie", a ghoulish figure who started life as a theatrical mask.

"He's the most outrageous and the biggest rock star there's ever been," says IRON MAIDEN's lead singer, Bruce Dickinson.

"And it's great because we don't have to be. We can just concentrate on doing what we do. The truth is we're not actually, any of us, interested in the rock star thing. We're very pleased that the paparazzi find us utterly, utterly uninteresting."
