Overview
- The feature documentary Iron Maiden: Burning Ambition opens in cinemas worldwide on May 7.
- Directed by Malcolm Venville, the film uses off‑camera band voice‑overs and centers fans, with appearances by Javier Bardem, Lars Ulrich, Chuck D, Tom Morello, Gene Simmons, Scott Ian and Simon Gallup.
- The band says it will skip its Nov. 14 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction because the date falls between Australian tour stops.
- Iron Maiden’s Run For Your Lives tour runs through November across Europe, the Americas, Australasia and Asia, with a North American leg set for late August and September.
- Longtime drummer Nicko McBrain retired after a final show in December 2024 in São Paulo, and Simon Dawson is now on drums as the set leans on the first nine albums.
