Iron Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson has revealed he’s been diagnosed with COVID-19 — in spite of being fully vaccinated.

Dickinson, 63, who recently postponed the last two dates of his spoken-word tour after a family member tested positive, says he began displaying symptoms just days later. “I thought, ‘Oh well, sh*it,'” he says. “I was kind of sneezing a bit. For a couple of days, I felt a bit groggy, kind of like the flu, and that was it. And I’m 63 years old. I’ve pretty much got no doubt that had I not had the vaccine, I could be in serious trouble.”

Iron Maiden’s new album, “Senjutsu” — which the band recorded in Paris — is due to drop on September 3rd.

Was the public misled about the efficiency of vaccines?
