Rebecca McBrain, the wife of Iron Maiden drummer Nicko McBrain, was arrested and charged with battery after she allegedly tried to stab a man in her home with a decorative lance, then threw logs at him. It is unclear if the man was Nicko.
The 50-year-old woman was released on $3,000 bond and will face a judge on May 3rd to defend herself against the bizarre allegations. She has entered a plea of 'not guilty'.
Police say the stabbing attempt failed, but Rebecca was successful in hitting the victims with logs that had been sitting in a firepit behind her home. It is not clear what set her off to the point of trying to stab someone.
According to blabbermouth.net, Nicko and Rebecca met in 1984 at the Button South in Fort Lauderdale.
Rebecca McBrain released an album in the early 2000's called 'Voyager'. Nicko produced this album, and drummed all tracks. He wrote five out of the eight tracks of the album. Check out the song Voyager below:
