Original Toronto Star caption: Rock concert: Iron Maiden fans line to buy souvenirs at last night's concert at Exhibition Stadium. It was the city's first major rock concert since last Friday when Benji Hayward; 14; took drugs while listening to Pink Floyd. Hayward later went missing and was found drowned in Lake Ontario Wednesday. Friends maintain that Hayward was not a druggy.
