Bruce Dickinson Rips Apart Fan for Lighting Flare at an Iron Maiden Show: Watch
Anybody who’s seen an Iron Maiden concert knows that frontman Bruce Dickinson is a serious and dynamic performer. As one fan discovered on Saturday (July 16th), it’s best to not distract the singer from doing his job.

A c**t with a f**king flare!” Advertisement Related Video The crowd let out a collective chuckle.
