McBrain joined the iconic metal band in 1982, after stints with artists like Streetwalkers, Pat Travers and Trust, and honing his craft from decades of session work among the highly competitive mean streets and studios of London's Soho.
Through his powerful, precise drumming and charismatic stage presence, the long-serving drummer was pivotal in shaping Iron Maiden's dynamic sound.
The rocker – who retired from touring in 2024 – remains in place as a member and for future studio recordings.
“Hello Boys And Girls!” sees McBrain take readers behind the scenes of one of Britain's biggest ever bands, as he experienced the highs and lows of his illustrious career on the road, in the studio and being 'Mr Iron Maiden' to the worldwide legion of fans.
This is the story of what it feels like to remain not just relevant but more loved than ever after decades at the top, and to live a life transformed by music, brotherhood, and belief.
"I'm very excited and honoured to be working with the wonderful HarperNonFiction Team on my very own book full of lots of fun stories, anecdotes and of course my incredible experiences with some of the greatest musicians and performers from the 70s, 80s and beyond!," says the rocker. "I am blessed to be able to finally share my path to where I am today, in my own words, with the world."
“Hello Boys And Girls!” will be available in multiple formats, including hardback, ebook and audio.
Iron Maiden are among the artists set to enter the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame this fall.
