JAKARTA - Nicko McBrain decided to quit his gig and tour activities with Iron Maiden. Even though his position has been replaced by Simon Dawson, he emphasized that nothing is greater than him.
This was conveyed by Nicko during a gig with his music project, Titanium Tart. The band involved a number of senior musicians, namely Rob Stokes on bass, Eldad Kira on keyboards, Mike Rivera and Mitch Tanne on guitars, and Paolo Velazquez on vocals.
In front of the audience, Nicko expressed his opinion about Simon who is now playing his role with Bruce Dickinson Cs.
"You all know that I stepped down from the tour with [IRON MAIDEN], and they have a fun child [Simon Dawson who is now playing with them]. He's a baby. He has a small drum set," Nicko quoted Blabbermouth as saying, July 28.
"But here's the problem: you might ask yourself, how do I feel about a new drummer who replaces me after 42 years? Well, the simple answer is that I am still the most handsome man at IRON MAIDEN," he added.

Nicko McBrain wishes Simon Dawson the drummer he deserves for Iron Maiden. But once again he insists no one will be able to replace him.
"May his heart be blessed. But he did an extraordinary job and I'm glad you all have welcomed him in this family. And regardless of whether he can be me, no one can help him," said Nicko.
Meanwhile Iron Maiden will continue its 50th anniversary titled Run for Your Lives Tour, which is underway in Europe. The tour is scheduled until August this year, before the schedule for 2026 is released.
