If you didn’t think you could love Iron Maiden any more, you might want to read this statement from Bruce and the boys.

Iron Maiden have dedicated their Brit Award nomination for Best Live Act to their fans in what is, quite frankly, a kick ass statement.

‘Maiden have said: “Iron Maiden’s secret weapon is our fans. Anyone who’s been to one of our shows knows that they’re the most passionate and devoted fans on the planet, making an incredible atmosphere at our shows. To be nominated for Best Live Act at the Brits is as much a recognition of them as it is of us. So for all of them, Up The Irons!”

There. We told you you’d love them that little bit more.
