During a recent interview with Kerrang!, Iron Maiden bassist Steve Harris was asked about the possibility of retirement. The 69-year-old says he still has no plans to call it quits.
Harris said the following amid British Lion’s UK tour:
“I’m not thinking about retirement. But we all know that it’s coming at some point when you’ll be forced into it by one thing or another. I still stay fit, playing football and tennis and things, but you never know what’s coming round the corner. That’s why you’ve got to make the most of this while you can, going out enjoy every gig for the sake of it. I’ve been saying that for the last 10 years, but it’s truer now than ever.”
He also added:
“I’m scared to stop in a way, scared to slow down. But playing shows like these does bring that old feeling back. They’re very similar in many regards. It’s about that feeling of trying to be out there fighting for the band, trying to get as many people in as possible, proving yourself every night to try and get exactly where it is that you want to be.”
