Iron Maiden posted a thanks to fans and tourmates on the trek, writing, “The band are now heading home and would like to thank all their legendary fans for making this such a memorable tour for everyone involved. You are the best of the best! Thanks also to Special Guests on the final leg of the tour; Megadeth in the US, and Slayer and Ghost in Latin America. And to Voodoo Six and all the other bands we played with across Europe at the festivals during the summer. And , of course, to the Killer Krew. Thanks to all of you!”
