Iron Maiden singer and qualified pilot Bruce Dickinson airlifted 200 British citizens who had fled war torn Beirut, Lebanon back to the UK Thursday.

The 47-year-old flew a Boeing 757 to Cyprus where he picked up the evacuees and flew them back to London's Gatwick Airport.

A colleague says, "He was only too keen to get involved and help.

"He has a strong interest in the welfare of people caught up in international conflicts and cares about what is going on."

It's always possible. He DID convert to Islam, if I remember correctly. Last I heard, he was helping Cat Stevens record a metal album of all his old hits.

I can always count on you to get a joke first.

It's amazing how a single act like that can overshadow a million Bono speeches! Which leads me to ask a modified question once submitted by Janet, Miss Jackson if you're nasty. "What have you done for me lately?" Hell, wtf has Bono ever TRULY done for charity other than open his peterbeaters?

He's thrown a white flag into the crowd at concerts and then when the crowd PREDICTABLY all start wrestling over it, he stops the show and says, "hey why are you fighting? There's enough fighting in the world already.." And the useless U2 fans cheer like he's Ghandi. And then the next night he does the same thing and is SHOCKED when the same thing happens.
