If there’s one thing the Run For Your Lives World Tour 2025 is making crystal clear, it’s this: Bruce Dickinson is unstoppable.
At 66, the Iron Maiden frontman continues to defy expectations, performing with the energy, precision, and theatrical flair of someone half his age — maybe younger. And while fans often joke that he must have some supernatural force keeping him fueled, there’s something undeniably fierce and primal in the way he dominates the stage. You could call it stamina. You could call it showmanship. But on this tour, it feels like something more. It feels like paw power — a kind of untamed, feral drive that refuses to back down.
Dickinson isn’t just singing — he’s charging across the stage, sword in hand, climbing platforms, leaping, roaring, and connecting with tens of thousands of fans night after night. His voice, remarkably intact after decades of performing some of the most demanding vocals in heavy metal, continues to soar with power and clarity. It’s the kind of performance that makes you wonder if Bruce was built from something different than the rest of us.
Part of his relentless drive comes from pure passion. Bruce has never been one to phone in a performance. He brings fire to every single show, and his presence commands attention — whether he’s belting out the high notes in “Aces High” or pacing the stage like a prowling beast during “The Number of the Beast.”
“Paw power” might not be a technical term, but it perfectly sums up Bruce’s raw, relentless energy. Like a wild animal with a mission, he refuses to slow down. He’s a force of nature, and on this tour, he’s reminding everyone exactly why he remains one of the greatest frontmen in rock history.
Bruce Dickinson doesn’t just perform — he attacks each night with power, pride, and primal force. Long live the paw power — and long live Bruce.
