## Key points

- McBrain is open to recording with Iron Maiden again.
- Steve Harris has not yet considered another album.
- A new record could mean a two-year world tour.

## Summary

Nicko McBrain says he would be open to recording another album with Iron Maiden, but the band has no confirmed plans for one. He believes the prospect of a lengthy world tour after recording may be part of the calculation, as the group’s high-energy performances demand a major physical commitment.

McBrain, who retired from touring in 2024 after a minor stroke affected his right hand, said he spoke with bassist Steve Harris earlier this year and asked about a new record. Harris had not yet considered it, though McBrain said that did not rule one out and that singer Bruce Dickinson would like to make another album. McBrain noted that recording and releasing a record would be followed by a tour that could last around two years.
