IRON MAIDEN’s DAVE MURRAY Says Upcoming Tour Will Be “Very Special” – “The Production Is Going To Be Something We’ve Never Done Before”​

"... Iron Maiden are gearing up for a milestone in their storied career with the “Run For Your Lives” world tour. Kicking off in May in Hungary, the trek will traverse Europe, with announced dates running through August. This tour will be the band’s first with new drummer, Simon Dawson, in place of recently retired Nicko McBrain.

In a new interview with Music Radar, guitarist Dave Murray says that the band will know when it’s time to end their long and illustrious career.

Murray says:

It doesn’t seem like fifty years since I first auditioned for the band, and obviously so much has happened in all those years – certainly a lot of touring! But this tour is going to be very special. The production is going to be something we’ve never done before. And because we’ll be playing only old songs, it will be kind of like a band history lesson.

Elsewhere in the interview, Murray says that Iron Maiden will know when it’s time to quit...."

To me, there’s nothing worse than seeing a band you like on stage and they look like they shouldn’t really be there doing it. We’re nearly hitting the seventies mark now, but I think we will all know when it would be time. It would be a mutual decision.
