IRON MAIDEN's NICKO MCBRAIN Reflects On Ministroke: 'I Thought, 'This Is It. I'm Not Going To Be Able To Play.''

In the new issue of Metal Hammer magazine, IRON MAIDEN's Nicko McBrain discussed the effects of the ministroke he suffered earlier this year and his ongoing recovery. He said: "Well, it was very, very difficult. When it first happened, I thought, 'This is it. I'm not going to be able to play. I've got a tour coming up in three months' time.' I had a lot of time for reflection in the hospital. My wife was really my bastion of strength and encouragement and she was with me throughout. I did a lot of strength exercises, a lot of stretches with weird weights that they have and I got my stamina back."

McBrain told Metal Hammer that his MAIDEN bandmates, especially bassist Steve Harris, were very supportive during his recovery.

"Through all this period of time I was in touch with Steve, obviously all the guys, and I'd have a bit of a chat with them on the phone and they were all very, very encouraging, and none more so than Steve," Nicko said. "He said, 'Look, the most important thing is that you get well and work on getting yourself together.'"

This past October, Nicko spoke about his latest health scare during an appearance on SiriusXM's "Trunk Nation Power Trip Special". Asked how the shows on MAIDEN's "The Future Past Tour" have been, Nicko said: "It's going great. It started off a little shaky for me, but as the time [went on] and the more shows we performed, I started to get a little bit more strength and they'd been really rocking out well. And the last couple of months have been fantastic."

The 71-year-old McBrain also talked about his recovery in more detail and touched upon how his health setback affected his drumming. He said: "[I'm] doing good [right now]. I'm still probably — I'd say I'm 85 to 90 percent back to strength, but I still have a little less dexterity with speed in my fingers. My fingers are the ones that — this is the last thing to strengthen up. But I had to change certain drum fills. Some fills that everybody knows me for on certain songs, I've had to improvise those at rehearsals to be able to actually play the songs. So now I'm starting to actually be able to kind of embrace it a bit more. And I can't do that live. I have to wait until we start doing some rehearsals again or whatever it is. But I'm definitely getting stronger. And I've had great support from [MAIDEN manager] Rod [Smallwood], the band, and all of the fans out there. They've been absolutely — they've shown me so much love, it's amazing."

When Nicko first went public with his stroke in August, the drummer said in a statement that the episode left him "paralyzed" down one side of his body and "worried" that his career with the band was over.

McBrain's statement read as follows: "I hope this message finds you all well!

"The reason I'm writing to you all today is to let you know of a very serious health problem that I have been through. In January I had a stroke, thank the Lord it was a minor one referred to as a TIA. It left me paralyzed on my right side from my shoulder on down, of course I was very worried that my career was over but with the love and support from my wife, Rebecca and family, my doctors, especially Julie my OT (Occupational Therapist),and my MAIDEN family I was able to bounce back to somewhere near 70% recovered. After 10 weeks of intense therapy it was almost time to start rehearsals for our tour.

"I feel it's important to let you know about this now instead of earlier as I was mainly concerned with doing my job and concentrating on getting back to 100% fitness. I'm not there yet but by the grace of God I'm getting better and stronger as the weeks go by.

"Thank you all for a most wonderful and magical tour so far, you have all been so amazing.

"Well that's it from me. God bless you all, stay safe and well and I look forward to seeing you all somewhere in time. "

Manager Rod Smallwood added: "The rest of the band and l think that what Nicko has been able to achieve since his stroke shows incredible belief and willpower and we are all very proud of him. With this new and musically very complex set to learn ahead of him, he just got his head down and concentrated on recovery. We honestly did not know if he would be able to play a whole show until band rehearsals started in May and there was just so much support for him from the band and then genuine relief for all when we saw he was going to be able to do it!

"Nicko being Nicko he did not want to make a fuss and cause any distraction to the tour at the time but, now that he is sure he will soon get there, he thought you fans should know straight from him rather than by any rumours! We are all of course delighted he battled through this so well and look forward to many more tours together!"

Three years ago, McBrain was diagnosed with stage 1 laryngeal cancer and opened up about it in a single interview in 2021 but otherwise kept it mostly under wraps. The musician received his cancer diagnosis after undergoing an endoscopy at the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, part of the University Of Miami Health System and the Miller School of Medicine. Within a week, McBrain's cancer was surgically removed and he now gets check-ups every few months to make sure the cancer hasn't returned.

McBrain, who had the cancer in a part of his vocal cords, isn't the first member of MAIDEN to beat cancer. Back in late 2014, IRON MAIDEN's Bruce Dickinson was diagnosed with throat cancer. The singer, who had a golf gall-size tumor on his tongue and another in the lymph node on the right side of his neck, got the all-clear in May 2015 after radiation and nine weeks of chemotherapy.

In a 2015 interview with Overdrive, McBrain admitted that he thought MAIDEN was over when it was discovered that Dickinson had a cancerous tumor. "Well, I'd be a liar if I didn't think for a minute that IRON MAIDEN [was] finished," he said. "[But] I thought more about the possibility of losing my friend than anything else, to be honest. Then later, I was thinking, 'God forbid if the worst ever happened, the legacy would be the last 16 albums.'"

McBrain, who is a dedicated Christian, continued: "I've got to be honest, I did question his mortality at one point and thankfully that didn't last long. Honestly, I got down on my knees and said a prayer, picked my thoughts up and got positive about it all, thinking to myself, 'If anyone can beat this, it's Bruce.' He's so positive about everything he's ever done in his life, or whatever he is about to do. Basically, I prayed for him and my prayers were answered, as well as everybody else that knows and cares for him."

ну о том какая атмосфера в лагере Мэйден уже все давно знают. Мудрый диктатор это большое благо для группы и очень большая редкость.

ThrashCrow

olly71, он не диктатор, а лидер. Благодаря ему группа достигла того, чего достигла.

ThrashCrow, во первых в слове диктатор нет ничего плохого в переводе с латинского это всего лишь лицо располагавшее неограниченными полномочиями в целях защиты государства. Так как и в слове фюрер кстати это всего лишь лидер нации. А во вторых не он а они потому что Мэденами с 1980 года управляет дуэт мудрых людей Смолвуд и Харрис . и только двое они могли поднять группу так высоко убери любого из двоих из истории и не было бы супер группы.

Нико молодцом!

У Maiden даже в визуализации проблемы: Eddie рисуют в комбинациях с различных дисков, порождая нелепые образы. Часть последнего альбома, и часть Somewhere in time в сет-листе, а в итоге изображают это вот таким образом.
#Вернитецыгана!

gravitgroove, та же проблема что и у Каннибал корпс - с определенного момента образы стали глупыми и не интересными. Я даже думал что у каннибалов другой художник после 1994 - нет, он же, Винс Локк. А что с артами случилось, это уже вопрос.

8 дек 2023

gravitgroove

WahrandPhain, если честно, то кроме Butchered at Birth и Bleeng другие обложки млекнут. На Vile вообще сейчас без улыбки не посмотрю, ибо аллегория будто, но по иронии на чиновников из России и Украины: этот кормящий корм для рыбалки уж неслабо мне напоминил Кириенко и Яценюка.

Dead Count

gravitgroove, дебют и Tomb of the Mutilated тоже отличные.

8 дек 2023

WahrandPhain

Dead Count, дебютная детская какая-то, слишком яркая. Первый раз когда увидел думал у него там сосиски или овощи)

8 дек 2023

WahrandPhain

gravitgroove, все так, но и Tomb of the Mutilated хороша

WahrandPhain, видно , что Лок и был всегда. почерк не спутаешь
