As the fearless, freewheeling frontman of metal giants Iron Maiden, no obstacle was too high for the leaping and bounding Bruce Dickinson.

Radiation therapy fried the singer’s vocal cords. Unable to sing or perform, he penned an autobiography: What Does This Button Do? Listen to personal readings and stories from Dickinson, as he remembers the past and looks to the future.
