Early Life of Bruce Dickinson

Bruce Dickinson was born on August 7th, 1958 in Workshop, Nottinghamshire, England. Raised primarily by his grandparents, he attended a number of private schools which made it difficult for him to make friends. Some of his earliest experiences were listening to the Beatles.

His parents eventually started successful businesses, and during his time at boarding school, he became attracted to hard rock and started playing bongo drums and singing. After being expelled from school, Bruce focused more on music and joined his first band after enrolling in King Edward VII School.
