By NMELeading player Brandon Flowers noticed a man being carried over a barrier at the Emirates Old Trafford ground during the band’s set and wanted to make sure he was well.
Although it seemed to be bleeding from the head, the man, named Billy, came running to the flowers and hugged him, smiling. “Billy Grovesurf tried to do it, he looks like he’s 68 or 69,” the singer told the crowd as he returned to the stage. “I said, ‘Billy, what are you doing?’ And do you know what he said? I’m having fun. ‘
