London, Jan 31 (IANS) Bruce Dickinson, lead singer of Iron Maiden, will personally fly his band and other staff members on a Boeing 757 for their world tour. He says that he is the first to do something like this.
Dickinson is a qualified pilot and the group has decided to rent a big plane for all their equipment and stage props.
Contactmusic.com quoted him as saying: 'We've been around the world many times and done some pretty momentous things but this is a first, not just for us but for any band on the planet.
'When we came up with the idea of getting one big plane with all the band, crew and equipment on we didn't realise how complex it was. But here we finally are on our 757 which we've christened Ed Force One, with yours truly wearing his captain's uniform, ready to fly us off around the globe.'
