Flight of Icarus was written by Bruce Dickinson and Adrian Smith and was released in April 1983 as the lead single from the Album Piece of Mind.
The song reached No. 8 on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock chart, making it one of Maiden’s biggest US singles ever, whilst in the UK it reached No. 11. The track was the first Iron Maiden single to feature drummer Nicko McBrain.
