In a recent interview with Brazilian radio station A Radlo Rock, Bruce Dickinson revealed that there was more material written for his recent solo album “The Mandrake Project”.
“There is quite a lot of material left over that we didn’t develop for ‘The Mandrake Project’. We had no time to develop it, and we looked at what we had and we went, ‘You know what? This is good. Let’s just work with what we’ve got right now because the other stuff, we can develop it later, we can talk about it later.’
“But the album has done amazingly well,” he continued. “The tour is doing incredible in Europe. I mean, most of the shows are sold out in Europe, which is fantastic. And the album chart positions are incredible as well. We were Number One in Germany, Number One in Sweden, and Two in most other places, and Number Three in the U.K. I mean, all this stuff is great.
“Judas Priest, for example, had a load of success with their new record, which is great,” Bruce added. “But they’ve been around for how long? And they’ve got like how many followers on Instagram? I mean, I only started my Instagram page, like, six months ago. So, for me to get those kind of results really means a lot, and it means that the record has really connected with people, that they really feel that connection. So it’s great.”
