Evidence and review
Individual evidence review is pending. The displayed range is a reported reference span, not an independently verified physiological limit.
These are the approximate figures fans and music journalists commonly cite — the widest notes a singer has recorded, not the comfortable range they sing in every night, and not lab measurements. Treat them as a fun reference, not a target.
How Bruce Dickinson uses that range
Listen for the brass in the tone: a narrow, forward placement that stays bright rather than dark, with vibrato that often arrives late and then widens. Chest connection holds all the way up to the G5 belt, and the C6 wails sit above that as a thinner, siren-like extension. Students imitating him squeeze the throat for volume. The sound comes from a supported cry and a tall, narrow vowel instead.
