Bruce Dickinson was diagnosed with tongue cancer in 2015
In an interview on the Scandinavian talk show Skavlan, Iron Maiden's vocalist, Bruce Dickinson, spoke about voice care.
“Your voice is a muscle like any other, and as long as you don’t abuse it and use it correctly, it will last. I don’t believe a voice is just about singing ,” he continued. “A voice is a tool for communication. And, as a singer, all you really are is a storyteller.”
“When I received a cancer diagnosis three years ago, I thought maybe I wouldn’t be able to sing again ,” Bruce said. “Thankfully, that wasn’t the case. But I stopped and thought: You know what? Even if my voice changes completely, it still doesn’t mean I can’t tell stories. Maybe I’d have to do it in a different way. Maybe I couldn’t do it with IRON MAIDEN. But it still doesn’t stop me… If what you want to do is tell stories, then you’ll find a way to do it.”
