Mark(175) | Bruce Dickinson, vocalist from Iron Maiden, has been diagnosed with cancer.
While having a routine checkup in December, the heavy metal frontman, 56, learned that he had developed cancerous tumors on the back of his tongue, according to a statement on the Iron Maiden fan page.
The performer finished seven weeks of chemotherapy and radiology treatment Wednesday.
The announcement says that doctors expect the artist to make a complete recovery, although it will take several months for Dickinson to get back on his feet.
“Bruce is doing very well considering the circumstances and the whole team is very positive,” the released statement explains.
Iron Maiden completed their most recent tour in the UK in July 2014.

sickman(2383) | It’s a good thing it was caught early. Pretty crazy that a singer gets cancer on his tongue of all places. Hopefully he has a speedy and successful recovery. Cancer sucks.

EDDIE’S fingers aren’t fingers they are muscle-powered pistons that hammer guitar strings to the fretboard with the force of a rivet gun”.
