BATACLAN BAND EAGLES OF DEATH METAL PAY TRIBUTE TO 89 DEAD AND CANCELS ALL UPCOMING SHOWS
Shocking: Fans watch the Eagles of Death Metal at the Bataclan in the minutes before the ISIS terror cell stormed the venue and killed 89 people. The band today paid tribute to those who lost their lives
The Eagles of Death Metal, the band playing the Bataclan concert hall when it was stormed by ISIS terrorists, have today paid tribute to the 89 fans who died last Friday night.
The group, who are back in the United States, have cancelled all upcoming gigs as a result of the massacre.
Photos of the band on stage capture the seconds before and the attack started, throwing themselves out of the way of flying bullets, and later looking shell-shocked outside the venue.
They said in a statement: 'While the band is now home safe, we are horrified and still trying to come to terms with what happened in France. Our thoughts and hearts are first and foremost with our brother Nick Alexander, our record company comrades Thomas Ayad, Marie Mosser, and Manu Perez, and all the friends and fans whose lives were taken in Paris, as well as their friends, families, and loved ones.
'Although bonded in grief with the victims, the fans, the families, the citizens of Paris, and all those affected by terrorism, we are proud to stand together, with our new family, now united by a common goal of love and compassion.
'We would like to thank the French police, the FBI, the U.S. and French State Departments, and especially all those at ground zero with us who helped each other as best they could during this unimaginable ordeal, proving once again that love overshadows evil.
'All EODM shows are on hold until further notice.
'Vive la musique, vive la liberté, vive la France, and vive EODM'.
