In 1993, Bruce Dickinson left Iron Maiden (resulting in Blaze Bayley taking his spot) to pursue a solo career. During this period, Bruce explored a wide spectrum of heavy metal and rock music styles. He later reunited with the band in 1999, alongside guitarist Adrian Smith, and has since contributed to six more studio albums with Iron Maiden.
Following his return to Iron Maiden, he released another solo album in 2005, titled Tyranny of Souls. Notably, his younger cousin, Rob Dickinson, previously served as the lead singer for the British alternative rock band Catherine Wheel, and his son, Austin, fronted the metalcore group Rise to Remain.
