Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden calls out security for beating fan - Tacoma Dome 2019

Bruce Dickinson, the lead singer of Iron Maiden temporarily stopped the live show and called out security for beating and injuring a fan at the September 5, 2019 - Tacoma Dome.

Iron Maiden is touring North America on the Legend of the Beast tour.

This speech from Bruce took place in between the end of the main show and the beginning of the encore. Apparently 10 security guards with police watching beat a fan causing head injuries. At one point Bruce said: "This is not the f@*king mixed martial arts. If it was mixed martial arts you'd have a referee, you know!"

The fan was taken back stage by the band. Ever the elegant metal showman, Bruce used this senseless act of violence to transition into the next Maiden song: "The Evil That Men Do" So appropriate!!

Here's the news story from the Tacoma Tribune:

Nearly three dozen police officers were called to the Tacoma Dome Thursday night after a fight broke out during an Iron Maiden concert.

The heavy metal band performed a show in the city as part of the Legacy Of The Beast Tour.

Before starting the encore, “multiple complaints were received about an overly aggressive individual who when addressed, physically attacked a security professional,” said Tammi Bryant, a spokeswoman for the Tacoma Dome.

The guard was injured.

Several other security guards responded and escorted the man outside. He was then arrested and booked into Pierce County Jail on suspicion of assault.

When singer Bruce Dickinson halted the show and said he saw a fan being punched by security, Tacoma police summoned extra officers on patrol in case things got out of hand.

Thirty-five officers staged outside of the concert, a police spokeswoman said.

No one else was injured.

“Safety is the number one priority at the Tacoma Dome with a focus on a positive experience for all,” Bryant said in a statement.

Dickinson told concert-goers security guards beat one fan who was “bleeding from head wounds,” according to The Seattle Times.

Police and Tacoma Dome officials contest that account, claiming it was a fan who hit a security guard.
