Cat’s out of the bag – Bruce Dickinson has confirmed he will be singing the National Anthem at the Pittsburgh Steelers’ home opener this Sunday at Acrisure Stadium.
Bruce made the announcement in an interview with Elizabeth Zharoff on The Charismatic Voice Podcast a few days ago. And word quickly began spreading underground (especially here in the Iron City, where traditional metal and Steelers go hand in hand).
