With trademark humour and heart, Nicko takes readers behind the scenes of one of Britain's biggest ever bands. <br/><br/>Nicko joined the band in 1982 after stints with artists like Streetwalker, Pat Travers and Trust. He honed his craft from decades of session work among the highly competitive mean streets and studios of London's Soho. Through his powerful, precise drumming and charismatic stage presence, the long-serving drummer became a metal icon, pivotal in shaping Iron Maiden's dynamic sound. <br/><br/>This is the story of what it feels like to remain not just relevant but more loved than ever after decades at the top, and to live a life transformed by music, brotherhood and belief. <br/><br/>Packed with unforgettable moments, backstage stories, laugh-out-loud anecdotes and raw honesty, <em>Hello Boys and Girls!</em> is more than a rock memoir; it's a front-row seat to one of heavy metal's greatest lives. <br/><br/> <strong>Nicko's ready.</strong> <br/><br/> <strong>Are you?</strong>
