As Blabbermouth reports, Iron Maiden were closing their set at their September 22 show at Anaheim’s Honda Center with ‘Aces High’ when they were unexpectedly joined on-stage by a fan.
Dickinson, who initially appeared to beckon the fan on-stage, then proceeded to grab the man by the back of his shirt after he began headbanging towards the crowd. Video footage shows Dickinson leading him off-camera, before the frontman then swiftly rejoins the rest of the band to finish the song.
You can watch the moment in question below.
Back in July, Dickinson stopped an Iron Maiden show in Greece when he spotted a fan with a flare.
As the band launched into ‘The Number Of The Beast’ at the Olympic Stadium in Athens, Dickinson sang the line “What did I see?” before then shouting “a cunt with a fucking flare!” after seeing the fan lighting a flare in the crowd.
