With a BMI of minus nine and cheek bones to die for, Eddie has long been the envy of anorexic rock chicks.</p> <p>Ancient, decayed and barely hanging together, Iron Maiden has struggled to top the charts in recent decades. But by providing the music to the new 'emaciated half-zombie diet', frontman Bruce Dickinson hopes to once again take the 't' out of heavy metal.</p> <p>"We've recorded a new version of '666 (the number of the daily calories)' and Eddie has been on a diet, so he can look his best for the video", Dickinson explained. "Well, I say a diet; we've actually mislaid his pelvis. But it does make it easier for him to squeeze into those size zero leather trousers." </p>
