Bruce Dickinson has a solo album on the way, but that's NOT the most interesting project he's working on outside his day job with Iron Maiden.  He's starring in a horror movie about an ABBA tribute band.  

 

 

It's called "Bjorn of the Dead," and it's about a bunch of tribute bands that get trapped in a nightclub at the start of the zombie apocalypse.
