British rock band Queen and Adam Lambert to release first live album on October 2

'Iron Maiden’s' Bruce Dickinson dons a few too many hats when not captivating audiences with his voice. Apart from a musician, Dickinson is also an airline pilot, author, broadcaster, fencer and entrepreneur.

And if you thought these were just hobbies, he is accomplished at each one of them. There are books and film scripts to his credit; he has competed at fencing internationally, hosted his radio show for BBC and even created a successful beer.

The world lost a brilliant musician in 2016 when David Bowie passed away. Hailed as one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century, Bowie dabbled in acting too. But what he was passionate about was art. A painter and artist himself, the ‘Space Oddity’ singer’s art collection was legendary, most of which was sold after his death.

In an interview to The New York Times, he had famously said, “Art was, seriously, the only thing I’d ever wanted to own.”

James Hetfield, the frontman of heavy metal band Metallica, is obsessed with cars and motorcycles. The musician has an enviable collection of vintage automobiles that was even put on display recently at the Los Angeles’ Peterson Automotive Museum. The 10 custom cars he donated to the museum included a 1948 Jaguar Black Pearl, which he built from scratch.

When not wowing his audience with his genius on the bass guitar, the 'Primus' frontman Les Claypool spends time making wines. What began as a simple project for personal use today is a boutique business called Claypool Cellars.

Staying true to his whacky sense of humour, Colonel Claypool names his wines based on his music. Think ‘Purple Pachyderm’ or ‘Pink Platypus’.
