Bruce Dickinson scolds unruly Iron Maiden fan at Adelaide show; fan saved by Iron Maiden t-shirt

As we all know well, obnoxious people who push their way up to the front are one of the primary annoyances of show-going. Lucky for us, Bruce Dickinson is not above taking a stand against such individuals. At a recent Iron Maiden show in Adelaide, Australia, Dickinson lit into a fan who he saw behaving poorly near the stage, and who gave Bruce the finger when he called him out. Said Dickinson:

You will be exiting. Pick a window. I hope you like hospital food. You. Yeah, give me the finger, mate, you can come backstage and I’ll fucking sort you out myself. Cunt.

You can check out the full video below, which also includes a performance of “Fear of the Dark.”

Meanwhile, in friendlier news from that same concert, an Australian man who had his life saved by an Iron Maiden t-shirt was repaid in front-row seats to the show and some signed t-shirts. The man, Steve Radeski, was in a serious motorcycle accident in 2014 and, while bleeding out by the side of the road, a man found him and used his Iron Maiden shirt as a tourniquet on the man’s leg.

So yeah. We’ve all said (hyperbolically) that such and such band ‘saved my life,’ but it would appear that Iron Maiden actually did save Steve Radeski’s life.

Check out video of the Dickinson takedown below.
