This amazing muscle tee was made to commemorate Iron Maiden's 1983 World Piece Tour. The back of the shirt reads, "The Beast On the Run", a nod to their 1982 tour promoting their album The Number of the Beast, which they titled The Beast On the Road Tour. The front of the tee meanwhile showcases the band's sinister, skeletal mascot, Eddie, created by the British illustrator Derek Riggs.

The World Piece Tour was launched to promote the band's fourth studio album, Piece of Mind. This was the first release to feature the group's new drummer, Nicko McBrain, formerly of the band Trust. Some notable tracks from the record included "Flight of Icarus", "The Trooper", and "Still Life", the last of which featured a secret message that could only be heard if you played the song backwards. Iron Maiden chose to include this satirical bit in response to the baseless claims that they were a bunch of devil worshippers, whose music contained hidden satanic messages.

The World Piece Tour marked the first time that the band played as headliners for a North American tour, and they managed to sell out their concert at Madison Square Garden.  

Fits like a modern unisex adult large. There is a hole on the left shoulder when wearing and near the graphic, see pics.
