The Killers Stop Gig To Help 67-Year-Old Crowdsurfer To Safety After Crowd Drop Him

This is the incredible moment The Killers paused their gig to tend to a 67-year-old crowdsurfer after the audience dropped him. Check it out:

As you can see in the first clip, the music-loving man is living his best life as the crowd carries him closer to the stage while the band performs.

However, things didn't quite go to plan, with Brandon Flowers asking: "Who dropped him? It's okay... oh, his head's bleeding a little bit, let's just take care of him."

The singer then jumps down from the stage and heads towards Billy, who's surrounded by medical staff and security.

When Billy realises who's approaching him his smile gets even wider. The pair embrace in a hug before Flowers checks he's okay.

Once he knows the crowd member's safe and sound, the singer jumps back on the stage to continue to the show, telling the audience: "Billy was trying to crowdsurf, he looks like he's about 68 or 69 years old.

"I said, 'Billy what are you doing?' and you know what he said? He said, 'I'm enjoying meself'."

Thankfully, the music-lover remained in good spirits despite the tumble, and he certainly amused the crowd with his hilarious reaction.

A woman who met Billy at the show commented on the interaction on Twitter, alongside a pic of them together and another of Billy with a big old plaster on his head.

She wrote: "Billy don’t be a hero! Billy stole the show from @thekillers tonight. Crowd surfing at the front of the crowd.

"They dropped him. @BFlowers24 stopped the show to get him rescued and some first aid. Billy is 67 years young. Living his best life!"

The moment unfolded last night, 11 June, at the Emirates Old Trafford in Manchester as part of The Killer's extensive Imploding the Mirage world tour.

Earlier on in the tour, a sixth form student got to celebrate the end of her exams in the most 'incredible' way – by being invited on stage to play drums for the band.

Grace Ellis, 17, completed her last exam at East Norfolk Sixth Form College in Norfolk on Thursday, 9 June, before making her way over to the city's Carrow Road stadium for the gig. 

She’d made a banner begging the band to let her ‘play drums for 'Reasons Unknown’', knowing The Killers have a tradition for allowing a member of the band to help with their 2007 song.

And it worked – Grace was plucked from the crowd to come up and join The Killers.

Speaking to ITV News, Ellis said: "It was incredible. I can't describe it. I'm so grateful that I was able to do it and I got chosen to do it. I don't believe it still. It's quite incredible."
