This sounds more like Mad Lib than an actual sentence, but I promise you, it really happened.
VERA FARMIGA from the “Conjuring” movies teamed up with ANTHRAX guitarist SCOTT IAN to perform the classic IRON MAIDEN jam “The Trooper” to show her support for Ukraine.
The band also included Vera’s husband RENN HAWKEY, who plays keyboards for the rock band DEADSY.
It happened at a music school called the Rock Academy in Woodstock, New York. Vera posted video, and she’s got an impressive set of pipes.
And yes, she is of Ukrainian descent. She even starts off the song by shouting “Slava Ukraini!” . . . which means “Glory to Ukraine!”
Also, “The Trooper” is based on the Charge of the Light Brigade, a failed military action by the British cavalry against WHO? That’s right . . . THE RUSSIANS.
(Vera is 48 years old, so she was a kid in the ’80s, when Iron Maiden was truly poppin’. Was she a fan? How many metal fans named “Vera” could there be? Do YOU know any???)
