Tears of a Clown by Iron Maiden Song Info
This track was inspired by the death of Robin Williams in 2014, and the title was taken from the famous Smokey Robinson song. "My favorite song [on The Book Of Souls] is one I didn’t write. It’s ‘Tears of a Clown,’ which talks about Robin Williams. I ask myself how could he be so depressed when he always seemed to be so happy." -Bruce Dickinson
