Bruce Dickinson made honorary citizen of Sarajevo

(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."
