Next month brings the release of IRON MAIDEN’s first album in five years, a double LP called “The Book of Souls”. According to ConsequenceOfSound.net, in a new interview with Italy’s Corriere Della Sera, frontman Bruce Dickinson revealed the one of the album’s tracks is dedicated to the late Robin Williams.
“My favorite song is one I didn’t write,” Dickinson explained. “It’s ‘Tears of a Clown,’ which talks about Robin Williams. I ask myself how could he be so depressed when he always seemed to be so happy.”
Williams committed suicide on August 11th, 2014 following a long battle with depression.
“The Book of Souls” arrives on September 4th through Parlophone Records. Watch below the video for lead single “Speed of Light”.
