March 27, 2011, 13 years ago
IRON MAIDEN's March 27th show at the HSBC Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil was cancelled when the audience barricade set up in front of the stage collapsed during the first song of the night, 'Satellite 15 ... The Final Frontier'. Video footage of frontman Bruce Dickinson asking the fans to step back from the stage once he'd noticed the collapse can be seen below.
According to a report from Brazil's Terra.com, the band stopped playing and Dickinson explained that the band would return to the stage once the barricade had been repaired. After 20 minutes, the crowd began losing its patience and Dickinson then returned to the stage to inform the audience that the show had to be cancelled.
He also informed the fans that Iron Maiden would play the HSBC Arena (March 28th) at the same time to make up for the cancellation.
Footage of Dickinson addressing the crowd can be viewed below.
