Bruce Dickinson lost his temper during an Iron Maiden in Athens, Greece, last Saturday, the 16th, after a fan lit a flare in the middle of the crowd.
The band is on tour with the Legacy of the Beast Tour and, according to LouderSound , had already performed a good portion of the set and had started playing "The Number of the Beast" when the irresponsible fan decided to light a flare, emitting light and smoke among the people in the pit.
Dickinson sang the phrase "What did I see?" and immediately followed it with insults. "A jerk with a fucking flame! I have to sing up here," the singer exclaimed, also calling the fan a "fucking Greek" and "idiot" before telling him to "go fuck yourself.".
For a few moments, Iron Maiden continued performing the song without Dickinson's vocals, as he temporarily left the stage. After this, the band finished the show normally. Watch the video footage of the moment below.
