Iron Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson has announced plans to tie the knot with his girlfriend, French fitness instructor Leana Dolci.

The news comes nearly two years after Dickinson’s second wife, Patrice Bowen, was found dead in the couple’s West London home following an unspecified “tragic accident.”

Dickinson and Bowen, who had three children together, separated in 2018 after 18 years of marriage.

“This is a terrible tragedy which appears to be a tragic accident,” Dickinson said following Patrice’s death. “Our children Austin, Griffin and Kia and I are devastated. Out of respect for Paddy we won’t be making any further comment at this hugely difficult and painful time for our family.”

Prior to Patrice, Dickinson was married to Erica “Jane” Barnett from 1983 to 1987.

A date for the singer’s third wedding has not yet been revealed.
