For a man who just turned 60, Iron Maiden singer Bruce Dickinson is far sprier than even people half his age. Decades into their career, Iron Maiden still put on huge performances, epic productions filled with a multitude of different set pieces, seemingly all of which Dickinson takes the opportunity to run across and/or leap off of during any one show. Last night in Manchester, England, during their run-through of "2 Minutes to Midnight," however, things did not go so smoothly, as Dickinson lost his balance and took a fall forward. He staggers momentarily, lies flat on his back, but then pops right back up to continue the performance, without missing a beat. It doesn't seem he had any injuries from the fall, and to be honest, he actually made getting up look pretty rad — as he does most things.
