    My Mum had a stroke at the age of 34 that was in 1990. All of her left side was paralyzed. She managed to learn to walk again, but it was more like “dragging her foot behind her”. Her left arm didn't recover and stays paralyzed.

    I saw him play 10 times on the last tour. The first time was the second show of the tour, and it was very noticeable that there was something up. He played very carefully and barely any fills. I then saw them a bunch of times all throughout the tour, and he got better every single time. By the middle of the tour, he was on fire. It's honestly amazing. What a legend.

      Ten times for one tour is incredible. Good for you! Hopefully you get to see many more shows. In 1987 Iron Maiden was my first concert. The Somewhere In Time Tour. The opening band was Yngwie Malmsteen. A great performance by Yngwie and Iron Maiden. The show was at the famous Long Beach Arena in Long Beach, California, United States. The same arena where Iron Maiden's Live After Death album was recorded during the Powerslave Tour 1 or 2 years earlier. The concert I attended was a good memory of my teenage years. Never saw Iron Maiden again. Life got busy in the Air Force for the next 25+ years. A reminder to cherish every phase of life and try to slow down enough to value what you're doing at any particular time and the people you care for most. Wasted Years is the song I like most from the Somewhere In Time album. Aside from it simply being an outstanding piece of music, the lyrics were a reminder to me every time I listened to the song. I recommend every Maiden fan listen to it this week and focus on the lyrics. Crank up the volume.

      Your words struck a chord with me. I had a TIA Minor stroke on NYE Dec 2022. I had no idea what was happening to me. What followed was life-saving major open heart surgery and months of recovery. Like Nicko, I'm also a drummer and a Londoner. I'm not in Nicko's league (obviously!) but like him, it's been my lifetime passion for over 40 years. To think I'd never play again or even hold a drumstick was unthinkable. I have made a full recovery and I'm back playing. My own resilience and determination even shocked me. I hope you're doing well after the stroke.

      @Colinl3052 5 месяцев назад

      @garyb4356 Sorry to hear your story, Gary. Don't give up hope. All the time I was laid up in hospital, I kept thinking about playing drums again. Everyone is different, and our bodies are unique. We all recover at different speeds. I was lucky enough to be home 5 days after my major operation. I did all the rehabilitation and walked as much as I could. I sat tapping whenever I could and felt inclined to. Drumming is such a physical thing, and we feel it more than other musos. So, when our strength goes, our confidence goes with it. Don't forget that you can beat this (no pun intended!), and you will. Try to stay positive, keep your mind strong, and gradually try to regain the use of your limbs. Good luck, mate. You can do this!

    Iron Maiden was the reason i started playing Bass in 1986.
    I still play and still love playing their music.

    As a life long Maiden fan, all the way back to before Nicko joined the band, I just want to say thanks to all the folks at Boca Raton Regional Hospital for getting the lad healthy and back out on the road. He's a character. Even if he didn't play again, seeing him in good health and able to tell all those stories means a lot but he's playing and loving life!
    Up the Irons!

    Glad to see you've recovered Nicko. I'm 71 years old, and I remember the 70's when you were with the Pat Travers Band, and I heard the Makin' Magic album for the first time. You, Mars, and Pat were great on that album. You're one great drummer.
