Legendary bassist and founding member of Iron Maiden, Steve Harris, has confirmed his intentions to step back from the band following their 2025 world tour. This revelation has sent shockwaves through the heavy metal community, as Harris has been an integral part of the band’s success since its inception in 1975.
In a statement released on Saturday, Harris cited a desire to focus on personal projects and spend more time with his family. “Iron Maiden has been my life’s work, but after 50 years, I feel it’s time to take a step back and explore other avenues,” Harris said. “The 2025 tour will be a celebration of everything we’ve accomplished together, and I want to end this chapter on a high note.”
Iron Maiden is set to embark on their highly anticipated world tour in early 2025, with dates spanning across Europe, the Americas, and Asia. The tour, expected to be a grand spectacle, will showcase the band’s iconic hits and cement their legacy as one of the most influential acts in heavy metal history.
Fellow band members have expressed their support for Harris’s decision. Vocalist Bruce Dickinson stated, “Steve has given everything to this band, and we’re behind him 100%. The upcoming tour will be a tribute to his unparalleled contribution.”
Fans around the globe are reacting with a mix of sadness and admiration. While Harris’s departure marks the end of an era, many believe his legacy will continue to inspire future generations of musicians.
As Iron Maiden prepares for what could be their final tour with Harris, the heavy metal world eagerly awaits what’s next for both the band and its iconic bassist.
