Overview

• In a new appearance on The Charismatic Voice, Dickinson specified his 2014 throat-cancer diagnosis as T3 N1 M0, according to a transcript posted by Blabbermouth.net.
• He described the primary tumor as like a golf ball at the base of his tongue with an additional lesion of about 2.5 centimeters in a lymph node.
• He said he completed nine weeks of chemotherapy and was later confirmed to be in remission.
• Recalling his first attempt to sing after treatment, he said it "sounded like a wounded buffalo" before his voice gradually returned.
• Recent clips show him joining a street performer in New Orleans to sing a Judas Priest hit as he continues a solo tour with a Pittsburgh stop scheduled Saturday.
