A 67-year-old man whose crowd-surfing antics halted a The Killers concert has said he is "feeling fine" despite "a few aches".
Frontman Brandon Flowers leapt off the stage to check on Doug James when he fell and cut his head during Saturday's Old Trafford cricket ground gig.
Mr James, of Sale, Greater Manchester, described the lead singer as "a lovely gentleman" after he rushed to help him.
The band tweeted: "There's no age limit for rock 'n roll."
Mr James, a retired marine and service engineer, said he was shocked at the reaction to his crowd-surfing after he fell near the stage.
He was taken aback when Flowers jumped off stage and ran to him to check on him and gave him a hug.
Mr James said: "He was concerned about me and asked if I was OK.
"What a lovely gentleman."
Mr James then waved to the crowd who were all cheering him as the encounter was shown on the big screen.
He said he was recovering well from his crowd-surfing exploits and his bump to the head, adding: "I'm feeling fine. I've just got a few aches."
