YouTube user Metal Traveller captured two of the most touching moments from what will be Nicko McBrain’s final concert with Iron Maiden. Earlier in the day, McBrain announced his decision to retire from touring with the band. As Bruce Dickinson said on stage in São Paulo, Brazil, Nicko isn’t leaving the band entirely but will step away from performing live. The band members thanked Nicko for his contributions as he threw drumsticks and drumheads into the crowd one last time.
