- (6 Apr 2019) BRUCE DICKINSON MADE HONORARY CITIZEN OF SARAJEVO
Bosnia's capital Sarajevo has declared Iron Maiden lead singer Bruce Dickinson an honorary citizen Saturday (6 APRIL 2019).
Mayor Abdulah Skaka presented the award in the City Hall, noting that the city is grateful for the heavy metal band's concert during the 1992-1995 war.
He said that Iron Maiden's arrival to besieged Sarajevo in 1994 "was one of those moments when we in Sarajevo realized we will survive."
Dickinson was thrilled to receive the honor.
"In a world where things only last for about five seconds on social media, 22-23 years after we did a little concert in the middle of a war in a town that everybody seemed to have forgotten, people are still remembering it, that's really quite something."
He then added jokingly.
"I mean it is so important that I am wearing a suit. The only time I wear a suit is if they bury me in it."

I would say all six chaps should be knighted and made citizens of the world... but great for Bruce, he deserves it
~The movie Scream for me Sarajevo is incredible. The risks Bruce and his band went through to play a concert in a warzone were very brave.
never too risky for bruce :')
Bruce never feel fear
This declaration is an honour to Mr Dickinson and to the power of music worldwide. Enjoying heavy metal or not, the people of Saravejo remembered the effort and boldness of this tiny man and his fellow bandmates. Probably, I would never had the balls to do what he did; that´s why those people are special, Mr. Dickinson and the people of Saravejo - they make us move forward, reminding the living while they are among us. Humanity, my friends. Peace.
I almost didn't recognize Bruce at first with his beard and long silver hair :O
He's a lot thinner than the last time I saw him if someone farted they would blow him away
Those sideburns remind me of Blaze Bayley
so do I
Yes, shame on me...same....I really thought, why is this guy signing the IM album..I thought he was one of the band played with Bruce at that time, I couldn't recognize him, even when I realized my blasphemous mistake
I love him
a humble man with great voice...long live bruce from jakarta
wow some true fans there in Jakarta if they name their child after singer of a metal band
Not sure about his voice i think he was better singing on his own solo stuff he doesn't seem to be able to hit the notes in Maiden wrong key for his voice now
THE REAL LEGEND!!!no pose ,no paint hair shit,no selfish ,...JUST A LEGEND!!!RESPECT THE BIGGEST BRUCE\\M//UP THE IRONS!!!
For a 90s kid like myself, it's absolutely epic to see Bruce with the long hair, for real this time! Makes him look far younger, like his old self :)
I grew up listening to Iron Maiden, I can't believe how time really flies
He''s getting old and us too. 😉
Bruce looks the best he’s looked since 94!
Ima ljudi koji neznaju da je ovaj covjek odrzao koncert u opkoljenom ratnom Sarajevu, dok su srpske granate padale na grad i ubijale neduzne ljude.
Uistinu veliki covjek i muzicar.
Kako će znati kad im je muzika i vid zabave Turbo Folk i nargile.
Hmmm, I understood everything! My mom is from Pula, but I never learned to write... 😎
All the best dudes!
I didnt know that the Irons did a concert there in 1994 and I was in Sarajevo in 1995 _ 1996 in the British army as part of the NATO takeover from the UN.....
im muslim from malaysia are grow up with iron maiden song..
I think i've never seen a video or picture of Bruce when he looked so nervous as in this hall where he got his honory citizenship...
Bruce Dickinson, legend, gentleman, untattooed millionaire.
Hail Bruce!
He needs to be honorary citizen of every city he goes! What a great artist.
Bruce a honorary citizen of the mankind.....
Long live Bruce!!!
And Up the Irons forever!!!
Bruce is already honorary citizen of any city he goes to. All cities in the world welcome him with warmest cheers.
Bruce looks so humble.
I love this man!
Svaka cast, Sarajevo! Tako treba.. A ne Severine i Keruse...

Bruce may be short in stature but he leaves a long shadow. That dude is awesome
Good on him. He certainly looks like a very proud man
The world will never hear of another great name, role model, or even icon as, Bruce Dickinson.
Bu kalp senin için Bruce ❤
Incredible-great vocalist, musician, philantrop and human men. One and only doktor Bruce Dickinson. Blood brothers. Rock On.
Cool story, I didn't know Iron Maiden made a concert during the war. I love Maiden, Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia and Montenegro. This year, I'll go to Sarajevo for the first time, I'm sure I'll like it. Greetings from France :)
Maiden never did, it was with his band during the 90's
@@bserdev8407 Yes, you're right. I've seen the video "scream for me Sarajevo" just a few minutes after I wrote this comment.
@Natalia Facury Oui, effectivement je me suis trompé. Je m'en suis rendu compte quelques minutes plus tard en regardant un extrait de la video "scream for me Sarajevo" où l'on voit Bruce avec son groupe à lui et non pas Iron Maiden. De plus, j'aurais du penser qu'à l'époque de ce concert en 1994, il avait quitté Iron Maiden...
You're always welcome
Bruce Dickinson for president!!!!
Legend!
My idol.
GOD Bless You 🎸🎸🎸
*SCREAM FOR ME, SARAJEVO!!*
Best metal singer in the world.
...woz Dio, sorry! But Top 3 yezz!
Parabéns grande Bruce mereceu só falta um show. Da pesada ai
Bruce have a great ❤
Iron Maiden can be sought, Iron Maiden can't be bought. Oh well whatever wherever you are Iron Maiden will get you.
As true now as the day the first album hit the stores. It's only improved with time.
A man all men respect. A real legend.
Legenda...
Can't wait for September Iron maiden will perform in LA this will be the greatest day of my life besides seen priest last year but anyways Up the irons.

Now he has the hair back, I hope he revives his string vest for the next leg of the tour
Fucking legend.
Nice to see a star walk the walk, well done Maiden
Bruce is a great man
They should of gave him a cold beer on arriving. See you somewhere on your Bruce. Yeah Maiden!
Those were just a few parts of the video that were cut. Just an informative video. If you want more, google it and be sure to watch "Scream for me Sarajevo" movie.
Thought it was Thom Yorke for a minute
Agora ele deve voltar com o Iron Maiden ou com a formação da banda solo para fazer om show
Love Bruce's disguise. I'd have never know it was him
Long hair ...,nice!!!
Bruce "Of Rivia" Dickinson
I'm still searching for Bruce at this video. It's a Slavian dude who talked too much in that video . But Bruce still searching
Cool beard! Bruce rules
Lovely place...Bruce is quite tiny isn't he...
Whos is that old gray bearded and long haired hippie walking through city? I don't recognise him.
Geralt of rivia!
Thx Bruce
Glad you got your long hair back bruce more a rock star again now Haha
I'll be listening to Maiden until the day I die. I hope their last song on their last tour is titled Until the Day I Die.

Up the Irons!⚒️
Someone should have told him that 200 000 Serbs left Sarajavo during the war and they never came back again. 😢
Up The Irons from Serbia, Niš! ❤
Actually, I'm pretty sure that he knows that...
Bearded Bruce !!! Maybe he finally saw Chuck Norris es movies !...ahahaha,...I just LOVE the man !❤️
