Nicko McBrain, longtime drummer for heavy metal band Iron Maiden, recently admitted that he was invited to play golf with Donald Trump, but turned down the offer because of his staunch anti-MAGA beliefs – and that the president and his “gang of cronies,” in McBrain’s words, “should be put in jail.”
Like Trump, McBrain resides in Florida, and in a recent interview with the Telegraph, he said a friend of his “who is a big Republican” asked him: “‘Oh, you want to come play golf with us? With the president,'” McBrain said. “And I said, ‘What the fuck?’ »…and I just said, “No.” No friend.
He continued: “I’m not politically inclined, although I have to be because I have my thoughts about it. I’m not amused by the narcissism, and all this brouhaha over the Epstein files and so on, and especially the profligate war he’s organizing against Iran.” McBrain added that Pete Hegseth “is going to be put in jail.” “My final word on Trump and his gang of cronies is that they should be put in jail,” he concluded.
McBrain’s autobiography “Hello boys and girls! ” hits shelves Thursday and is described as a “gripping, hilarious and deeply personal autobiography,” according to publisher HarperCollins. “With characteristic humor and heart, Nicko takes readers behind the scenes of one of the biggest British bands of all time… This is the story of what it feels like to not only remain relevant, but more loved than ever after decades at the top, and living a life transformed by music, brotherhood and belief.
The band announced earlier this month that it would embark on the third and final leg of its 50th anniversary “Run for Your Lives” tour, which begins in April and concludes in May. They will close out this leg with two festival headlining performances at Sonic Temple and Boardwalk Rock.
In April, Iron Maiden were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as part of the Class of 2026. The official induction ceremony is scheduled for November 14 at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles.
