WATCH: Who Had Vera Farmiga Covering Iron Maiden On Their Bingo Card?

Staff Writer

Ummmm Did anyone have this on their bingo card for 2022? Well-known actress from The Conjuring, Hawkeye, Godzilla, The Departed and more, Vera Farmiga, covered Iron Maiden's The Trooper, fronting a band that sported Anthrax's Scott Ian on Guitar and Deadsy on Keyboards over the weekend. What?

Iron Maiden

In a moment of absolute badass-ness, the actress of Ukranian descent kicks off the song screaming something in Ukranian and in front of a man waving a Ukranian flag in support of the country currently under violent assault from Russian forces. The actress was present at a show put on by Rock Academy - a New York-based music school with the charter of bringing young people into music through heavy music. A noble cause, to be sure.
