In a bold creative move, IRON MAIDEN vocalist Bruce Dickinson has teamed up with film directors to create an epic video for his reworked version of the classic track 'Tears Of The Dragon'.

The song is featured on Dickinson's reworked solo album 'More Balls To Picasso', which was released in 2024.

The video, shot in São Paulo, Brazil, brings together Dickinson and Brazilian ballet dancer Renata Bardazi to create a striking and emotionally charged film that has won prestigious awards at international film festivals.

Bruce comments: "When we reimagined the whole album, we always wanted to do an orchestral version of 'Tears Of The Dragon'.

Antonio Teoli scored it and we recorded it, then we called up the filmmaker Leo Liberti who previously shot a load of live stuff for me in Brazil that was fabulous.

We found this amazing location, an enormous old-school brewery that was almost like a renaissance building, and we made up the orchestra so they looked slightly zombified.

All the HOUSE BAND OF HELL band members are in the video and I gave them all instruments to play.

The whole thing was brilliant madness." The new video has already won 'Best Music Video' at a host of international film festivals including Los Angeles Film Festival, New York International Film Awards, Eastern Europe Film Festival, Sweden Luleå International Film Festival, World Premiere Films Awards, Asian Independent Film Festival and Berlin Music Video Awards.
