Rock legend Bruce Dickinson has drawn massive crowds in Glasgow as he takes part in a book signing.
The lead singer of heavy metal band Iron Maiden has hit Waterstones as he signs copies of his long-awaited autobiography, What Does This Button Do?
A long line of eager fans desperate to catch a glimpse of their idol have been queued up outside the popular bookshop since early this morning.
At one point, the line weaved up two blocks with some fans having stood in line for a staggering six hours to see the musician.
As one of the world’s most storied musicians, the 59-year-old has been the internationally-acclaimed frontman of the group for more than 30 years, having lived an extraordinary off-stage existence as well, all of which has been laid bare in the book.
As well as being a world-renowned musician, Bruce is also an airline pilot and captain, aviation entrepreneur, beer brewer, motivational speaker, film scriptwriter, novelist, radio presenter, actor, and world-class fencer. To add to his list of accomplishments, he’s now showcased his life account, described as “bold, honest, and very funny.”

In 2015, Bruce revealed he was battling cancer in a shock announcement.
He was diagnosed during a routine check-up just before the pervious Christmas and completed a seven-week course of chemotherapy and radiology.
Four decades on, Iron Maiden continues to make headlines and gather praise from across the nation and the globe.
