Iron Maiden's Bruce Dickson announces audiobook version of his autobiography
You can enjoy the book read by Bruce himself!
Last updated 10th Oct 2017
Iron Maiden fans will be able to enjoy an audiobook version of Bruce Dickinson’s autobiography ‘What Does This Button Do?’ read by the legendary frontman.
Available to pre-order right here ahead of its release on Thursday 19th October, Bruce has introduced the audiobook via a typically humorous and self-deprecating video on YouTube.
In the one-minute clip, Bruce says: “Hello, Bruce Dickinson here. If you’re embarrassed about reading this book in public just remember that you can obtain the audio version of me actually reading it to you and sending you to sleep with little lullabies and that sort of stuff.
“So, if you’re embarrassed about being seen with this book in public and not having it under a plain brown cover just remember you can have it under plain brown cover direct to your earholes. An audiobook, what a concept!”
Don’t forget, you can meet Bruce in person at a series of book signing sessions that kick off in Liverpool next Wednesday.
The full list of dates and times are as follows:
OCTOBER 2017
Waterstones Liverpool – Wed 18th @ 6pm
Waterstones Glasgow (Sauchiehall Street) – Fri 20th @ 12.30pm

Fans are advised to get to the book signings early as admission will be on a first come, first served basis.
According to Waterstones’ website, due to time constraints Bruce will be signing copies of the book only (limited to two per person) and there will not be an opportunity to have any additional Iron Maiden merchandise signed on the day.
The gentlemen that he is, Bruce will be doing name only dedications in the books and Waterstones staff will be on hand to take a photo as Bruce signs your book.
For more details and terms head to Waterstones’ official website.
The book signings coincide with the three previously announced A Conversation with Bruce Dickinson events where Bruce will read from his autobiography, talk about the experience of writing it and answer questions from the audience.
Tickets cost £30 and include a pre-signed hardback copy of ‘What Does This Button Do?’ and a Trooper beer (or a soft drink).
