Nicko McBrain, longtime Iron Maiden drummer and soon-to-be inductee of the Rock Roll Hall of Fame, has revealed plans to issue a memoir, which will be introduced to the public later this year under the title Hello Boys and Girls! McBrain, who retired from Maiden’s touring lineup in 2024, announced the book project today (May 12th), and the book will be out October 22nd via Harper NonFiction. The tome reportedly delivers “Nicko’s story as told by the man himself,” and will cover his time in Maiden, which he joined in 1982, as well as his time in other projects like Streetwalkers, the Pat Travers Band and Trust. “I’m very excited and honored to be working with the wonderful Harper NonFiction Team on my very own book full of lots of fun stories, anecdotes and of course my incredible experiences with some of the greatest musicians and performers from the 70s, 80s and beyond,” he wrote in a statement. “I am blessed to be able to finally share my path to where I am today, in my own words, with the world.” He added in a socials video, which you’ll find down below, that the book may have anecdotes “that are a bit risque, and I could get into a lot of trouble for,” but the drummer added: “Who cares? I ll deal with the repercussions of that later.” Pre-orders for the book are up over here. As for Maiden, whose current live drummer is Simon Dawson, the band have European shows with Halestorm through May and June, and will launch a leg of North American “Run For Your Lives” dates this summer with Anthrax and Megadeth. Maiden will be inducted into the Rock Roll Hall of Fame this fall, but they won’t be attending the ceremony in Los Angeles because they’ll be touring New Zealand. View this post on Instagram
