A world-class fencer, veteran pilot & one of the most acclaimed rock vocalists of all time, there is no one else like him. Prior to joining Maiden in 1981 for their seminal, multi-million selling Number of the Beast
- one of the most influential records in the history of Heavy Metal
- Dickinson enjoyed stardom with fellow New Wave Of British Heavy Metal artists Samson, while his post-Maiden solo career also brought much critical success. Not content to merely continue shaping the face of metal music, Dickinson is a true renaissance man: a world-class member of the British Fencing team; a best-selling fiction author; a keen military historian; a TV presenter; & also a first officer for commercial airline Astreus. Yet in 2015, the voice, & the life, of Iron Maidens singer were placed in the cruellest jeopardy as he was diagnosed with a golf-ball sized cancerous tumour on his tongue. But after making a full recovery, Iron Maiden have released an acclaimed sixteenth album, The Book of Souls, announced a world tour & stand astride the pantheon of metal greats, & Bruce stands astride the pantheon of metal greats once more.

Bruce Dickinson – Iron Maiden’s legendary front man – is one of the world’s most iconic singers & songwriters. But there are many strings to Bruce’s bow, of which larger-than-life lead vocalist is just one.

In What Does this Button Do? Bruce contemplates the rollercoaster of life.

He recounts – in his uniquely anarchic voice – the explosive exploits of his eccentric British childhood, the meteoric rise of Maiden, summoning the powers of darkness, the philosophy of fencing, brutishly beautiful Boeings & firmly dismissing cancer like an uninvited guest.

Bold, honest, intelligent & funny, this long-awaited memoir captures the life, heart & mind of a true rock icon, & is guaranteed to inspire curious souls & hard-core fans alike.

Bruno Tonioli - My Story

Bruno Tonioli is the unmistakably flamboyant Italian who has entertained Strictly Come Dancing's countless fans for very nearly a decade. Bruno lights up every episode of the smash UK show - as well as Dancing in the Stars in the USA - with his high-energy, warm and deliciously humourous critiques of the celebrity contestants. For the very first time, fans can now read all about this highly engaging and life-affirming man who has rapidly established himself as a British national treasure. Born to staunchly working class parents and raised in a very conservative Catholic village in northern Italy, Tonioli knew from the age of 8 that he was not constructed like many of the other boys he played with. Forced to train for a 'proper job' as a bank clerk, Bruno was eventually to find a way to
express his creative abilities and ended up a dancer and then a renowned choreographer, arriving in Britain in the early 1980s. His career took off and he found himself immersed in the buzz and hedonism of the vibrant 80s scene, rubbing shoulders with the great and the good from the worlds of theatre, music and film. Wonderfully rich and colourful stories from this era abound. For Bruno, the last decade has - of course - been very largely about the Strictly phenomenon, and his memoirs do not disappoint in taking fans behind the scenes to witness for themselves the magical ingredients of one of the most popular shows on TV. The book will delight with its warmth, depth and wonderful sense of joie de vivre.
