Something wicked this way comes

This is a bit different biography - that's both criticism and praise. The Iron Maiden vocalist Bruce Dickinson knowingly leaves out a bulk of his personal background - nothing about his girlfriends or wife or wives, his family or friends - not that it's all too essential in any biographies, at least it's never too interesting. He also writes very little of the band Iron Maiden, almost nothing compared to its significance on his career and life. What's left then? His hobbies fencing and aviation. Beating cancer. His passion for writing and discovering new things. There's a whole lot of everything and virtually nothing at the same time.
