Bruce Dickinson
Back in 1994, lead singer Bruce Dickinson left the British heavy metal band Iron Maiden. Hundreds of potential candidates auditioned for the gig and Bayley nailed it. They recorded two albums with the former Wolfsbane frontman, "The X Factor" in 1995 and "Virtual XI" three years later. Bayley toured worldwide with the band and some of the hits they recorded together are still part of the group's set list. Dickinson returned to the fold in 1999 and their split was an amicable one and Bayley went on to form his own band named Blaze and later the Blaze Bayley Band. Since 2011, he has been performing as a solo act with different backing musicians and has even done co-headlining tours with Maiden's original singer Paul Di'Anno.
