Watch Iron Maiden's Bruce Dickinson join Pantera for 'Walk' performance in Paris
He surprised fans in the French capital
Iron Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson made a surprise appearance on stage at Pantera’s concert at Paris Adidas Arena on Saturday night (15th February).
Midway through Pantera’s blistering rendition of ‘Walk’, Bruce Dickinson walked on stage in his coat and beanie hat while clutching a microphone stand over his shoulder.
Pantera vocalist Phil Anselmo then shouted “It’s Bruce Dickinson!”, and the English heavy metal legend proceeded to belt out the “Walk!” and “Re-spect!” parts of ‘Walk’ alongside Anselmo while sauntering the stage and interacting with the crowd.
After the concert, Pantera drummer Charlie Benante shared photos of Bruce Dickinson backstage with the band, and he wrote: “The show tonight at the @adidasarena was so good but it got even better when @brucedickinsonhq came out for WALK , that was awesome.”
