​

IRON MAIDEN drummer Nicko McBrain has announced his retirement from touring.

The 72-year-old musician, who has been a member of MAIDEN for more than four decades, revealed his decision to "step back" from being on the road earlier today (Saturday, December 7) in a statement on the band's official web site and his social media.

Nicko wrote: "After much consideration, it is with both sorrow and joy, I announce my decision to take a step back from the grind of the extensive touring lifestyle. Today, Saturday, December 7th, Sao Paulo will be my final gig with IRON MAIDEN. I wish the band much success moving forward.

Sad to see all these great bands reaching this age and calling it quits. McBrain had a hell of a run. I can see wanting to ride off into the sunset to relax a little at 72.
