Iron Maiden’s vocalist Bruce Dickinson goes on Submarine voyage

Iron Maiden’s vocalist, Bruce Dickinson, has joined a British submarine crew for a three-day trip. All the crew on board was surprised and joyous on the arrival of the rock star.

It was a bit surreal. It’s not every day you bump into an international rock star on a nuclear submarine. When I heard that somebody called Bruce Dickinson was coming on board, I thought it was maybe a civilian contractor or someone who went by that nickname”,
one of the sailors was quoted as saying to journalists.

Although Dickinson made his away aboard the nuclear vessel by way of a special invitation from the captain, the sailor told reporters that he didn’t look for special treatment. “He was extremely down to earth and hung around with everybody asking questions
and chatting about his life. Everyone was happy to have him on board with us. Lots of people were stunned by it but some didn’t know who he was.”

For Dickinson, the voyage is just another interesting chapter in a life full of them. In recent years, he’s been in the news for flying stranded British travelers home on a couple of occasions, as well as co-writing the screenplay for the movie ‘Chemical
Wedding’ — and then, of course, there’s his high-profile day job with Maiden, whose most recent album, 2010?s ‘The Final Frontier,’ debuted in the Top 5 of Billboard’s album charts.
