Bruce Falling KO during the LA Gig

According to various report, Bruce Dickinson fell head first from one of the higher set platform almost into Nicko's drumkit. He seemed to be groggy for about a minute lying on his back then rocking back and forth in pain, but as Janick and some crew started to notice and went to help, he got up just in time for the verse "as the guards march..." verse of 'Hallowed Be Thy Name'.

After the end of the song, the band huddled and talked about it, since they hadn't seen it happening. Steve even looked in disbelief while Bruce was pointing out where he slipped. Understandably, Bruce was moving much slower for the rest of the show.

He even said he wanted to get some X-Rays after the show, but maybe that the Air-Raid was only kiddin...

Later on in the show, he went off to a security person who was pouring water on stage, telling him that he already slipped once and didn't want to do it again.

Thanks to Hazelnut, Seventy2NodNarB, Asian Maiden, Kahn and Lokoman for the head's up
