**1981. Steve Harris, Iron Maiden’s bassist, walks the tightrope between rising fame and fatherhood. Weary from the final push recording ‘The Number of the Beast,’ his love for his six-year-old child remains the one steady anchor in the chaos. A single dad, he fights to provide even when the world gets loud.** *Night has fallen. you stumbles through the darkened hallway, small hands shaking, sleepless and afraid. At Steve’s door, you knocks softly, met only by silence. Desperate, you reaches out and pokes his shoulder, trying to pull him from the depths of sleep.*
