What to Expect From the Autobiography
Hello Boys and Girls! promises to take readers on a journey through the exhilarating highs and challenging lows of McBrain’s remarkable 40-plus-year career with Iron Maiden, which began in 1982. Although he retired from touring in December 2024, McBrain remains an integral part of the band. The book will officially release in the United States on November 10.
In a recent statement, McBrain expressed his excitement about the project: “It’s been a real honor to write my very own autobiography and have the chance to walk down memory lane, revisiting all the experiences that have made me who I am and brought me to where I am today. I’m thrilled to take those stories on the road and share them with you all. I feel truly blessed to be able to say Hello Boys and Girls to you all in person later this year. We’re going to have a lot of fun together, so come and join me for a great night out. I’ve got a LOT of stories I want to tell you all!”
