The Inspiration Behind Iron Maiden's Ed Force One

. (Rock AAA) Bruce Dickinson now has to fly Iron Maiden round the world as well as front the band and it's all Australia's fault.

In a video interview the singer explains he came up with the idea to package band, crew and equipment into a customised Boeing 757 because it was the only logistical solution to touring Down Under.

Dickinson says: "It's all the Australians' fault really. We were badgered to do Australia for so long, but it's such a long way away, the show is so comprehensive and we take such an entourage with us, we could never make it work.
