It was announced last month that Iron Maiden frontman, Bruce Dickinson, had joined the Heavy Metal Truants "Nine Lives" ride.
Since 2013, the Heavy Metal Truants have cycled from London to the hallowed grounds of Castle Donington and Download Festival. The event, founded by Rod Smallwood and Iron Maiden Fan Club Eddietor Alexander Milas is open to all, and it's seen metal fans, bands, and industry types getting on their bikes and raising over £800,000 in the process.
Dickinson sat down with Planet Rock's Wyatt to talk about taking part in the Heavy Metal Truants' charity cycle ride to Download 2021, raising money for Nordoff Robbins, Childline, Teenage Cancer Trust, and Save The Children. As well as that, they discussed Bruce's rather simple requirements when it comes to phones and bikes...
A recent message states: "Heavy Metal Truants four chosen charities are Nordoff Robbins, Childline, Teenage Cancer Trust and Save The Children, and they've been devastated by the pandemic, and so we call on all metalheads from around the world to join us in the name of heavy metal.
