Life could not be any sweeter for Bruce Dickinson and Iron Maiden at the moment. With their hugely successful 50th anniversary tour starting its second leg, the recent premiere of the biopic Burning Ambition and an induction into the Rock ‘N’ Roll Hall of Fame, you would think they would have had enough of the red carpet treatment. But no, not these guys.
In what could be seen as slightly left-field, it has been announced that Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson has received three nominations at the highly prestigious Speaker Awards.
The event, which will be taking place in London, will see a host of nominees vying for numerous different awards. Dickinson has been nominated in the Best Live Speaker, Best Motivational Speaker, and Best Storyteller categories.
Apart from being what can only be described as a “polymath”, embarking on alternative careers in aviation, fencing, broadcasting and brewing, Disckinson is considered to be somewhat of a raconteur extraordinaire.
A statement from the Speaker Awards selection committee said: “Known for his energy, insight, and unforgettable stage presence, Bruce Dickinson continues to captivate audiences around the world with inspiring stories drawn from music, business, aviation, and life at the highest level.”
The event will take place at the Leonardo Hotel in St Paul’s on 3 July 2026.
