      Dorcas Meadowes I know what evolution is and roughly how it works. I have no idea what I meant with that back then hahahaha. It was probably something related to how he evolved as a singer over the years, but I'm not sure.

    Well I think I speak for everyone when I say thank God cancer was unsuccessful in taking this brilliant musician after unfortunately taking David Bowie. Having personally witnessed the devastating effects of cancer on good people I can say we need to keep fighting it, we've already made so much progress against it, I look forward to the day we can say no one else ever has to go through this horrible illness. On that note, listen to their last album and remind yourself, the singer had throat cancer when he did that, and you will have a new respect for that man; it's generally unbelievable the dedication he has.

    This is a huge relief because if Bruce were not to have recovered I think things are bad enough for me I would have thought of "Following" him. I've had nightmare after nightmare about losing him and it was only in my subconscious that I could tell how bad it would effect me. He's a gentleman. He's not an arrogant rock star. Bruce Dickinson is unique. I learned my lesson with Michael Jackson that I had thought he'd never die and then all of a sudden he's dead and I went out of my mind. You cannot expect somebody just because they are famous that you can ignore them, cast them aside, and think they'll live forever. I am so relieved about Bruce! Let's hope for no more health problems!

    Bruce's cancer incident effected a lot of people in the metal community. Bruce is such a living legend, and words would never be strong enough to describe if cancer claimed Bruce.
    Everyone wanted Bruce to pull through with it, and it was a breath of fresh air when Bruce was given the all clear. Even Paul Diannio, who has mocked both Bruce and Iron Maiden as a whole, wished Bruce a safe recovery.
