Iron Maiden singer Bruce Dickinson was named an "Honorary Citizen of Sarajevo" earlier this week.
According to Blabbermouth, the Sarajevo City Council selected Dickinson for the Honorary Citizen of the City of Sarajevo Award in remembrance of his 1994 visit to the city during the Bosnian War.
The Council explained that Dickinson has, as a foreign citizen, contributed significantly to the development and affirmation of Sarajevo as well as to the relations among people based on solidarity, democracy and human rights.
Dickinson and his band came to Sarajevo with the help of UN troops in 1994 and held a concert at the Bosnian Cultural Center.
"Thanks to everyone, especially the residents of Sarajevo," Dickinson said in a statement. "This is an award for all of us."
The story of Dickinson's concert in Sarejevo was shown in a 2016 documentary film Scream for me, Sarajevo.
