Nicko McBrain… A great warrior just left his drum throne live for the last time. Very few in the history of percussion have left such a distinctive mark as this man. His accolades, his rewards and trophy's have been too numerous to count. But the thing I felt when I heard last night would be his last live show all but sent me into a tail spin. Yes he's admired the world over, but for me he's my friend, and I say without reservation whatsoever... I love this man. Having been part of the same management family as Maiden for the last 40 years I can tell you first hand, Maiden is Rock's answer to the mafia... once you're in, you never leave... you are family FOREVER. They are unmatched in class with a fierce dedication to one another.
He is beyond Blessed still, and all in our family say, Godspeed young man.
