Despite being planned for months, or even years, there are things that staff of bands couldn't predict during a live performance as many things could go south at the last minute. Recently, Iron Maiden performed in Greece where fans did a shocking thing and Bruce Dickinson isn't having any of it.
According to Uproxx, the metal band performed at the Olympic Stadium in Athens, Greece, last weekend and things didn't go according to plan.
A concertgoer reportedly started a fire and the frontman wasn't too happy about the fan's gesture.
While performing, Dickinson paused to call out the person who started the fire, labeling them as "The c*** with the f****** flare."
"I'm trying to sing up here, you f******* c**********. You Greek c***. I've got to f****** sing, alright? F*** you," he said as a big fire and smoke emerged in the middle of the crowd.
There are no updates on whether the fan was kicked out from the show or are there any concertgoers who got hurt because of the fire.
The firestarter's identity also remains unknown.

Dickinson's temper isn't new in the industry as he previously claimed that he regretted not punching Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose when they were opening for Iron Maiden in Quebec City decades ago.
The outlet noted that Rose made fun of the audience which consists of mostly French-speaking people.
"I should have come onstage and given him a punch. How could he dare speak to my audience in that way? I always regretted not having done so," he said.
Other Crazy Fan Encounters During Live Shows
Some fans could get a little crazy when they watch their idols on a live show as Dickinson's experience wasn't the first bizarre thing that happened at a concert.
Years ago, Rihanna performed on her successful Diamonds World Tour when a fan became a little too aggressive.
In return, the "What's My Name" hitmaker hit him in the head with a microphone.
Another instance was when Harry Styles performed at a breast cancer benefit at the Hollywood Bowl in 2017.
The former One Direction member wanted to make a connection with his fans so he got up close with the audience.
However, the unfortunate incident happen when a concertgoer reached for his crotch, leading online fans to start the hashtag #RespectHarry.
