‘I’m enjoying meself’: 67-year-old crowd surfer hailed at Killers gig

Brandon Flowers halts Manchester show to embrace Doug James after he swam over the heads of the crowd

A 67-year-old first-time crowdsurfer has been hailed as a rock'n'roll inspiration after being carried to the front of the audience at a concert in Manchester.

The Killers halted their show at Old Trafford cricket ground at the weekend after their frontman, Brandon Flowers, noticed a white-haired man in a red fleece had been carried over the security barriers. He was bleeding in the head, having been dropped after clearing the moshpit.
