Lord Ghaleon affirms in a post in the official Bruce Dickinson ScreamForMe.com forums:

"I have it from a good source that Bruce will perform early next year in London at a major show by Arthur Brown."

I'm sure not many of you know Arthur Brown, but you'd better check some info on Google, as he's a big influence on bands like Genesis, Deep Purple, Kiss and even Maiden in terms of theatrics at shows for instance.

In 1997, Bruce Dickinson, who loves the man, compiled a BBC documentary to show Arthur Brown's legacy.

I don't know if it ever was released.

So, even if this rumor is still in limbo as too few details are known, there **IS** a link between the two singers.

Cheers

The Crazy World of Arthur Brown

The lovely man of Prog Rock! I know him, and I knew he was an influence on Bruce. I can't see it in the music, but I can see how the stage theatricals are influenced.

Well, there are many links, but the most important one is that Bruce and Arthur Brown are good friends. Apparently, Bruce's wife attended to the Earls Court Maiden gig in 2003 with Arthur. More well known trivia for you:

- Bruce did a cover of Arthur Brown's 'Spirit of joy' in 1994.

- Arthur Brown read the poetry bits on Bruce's solo masterpiece "The chemical wedding".

- Arthur Brown did Bruce's Freak Zone at 6 Music when Iron Maiden were touring North America in the summer of 2003.

Only date announced is 12th March 2005.

Haven't heard of anything else on Brown's management side.
