Eagles of Death Metal return to Paris to perform for Bataclan survivors
The Eagles of Death Metal returned to Paris on Tuesday, three months after terrorists opened fire on the crowd at their concert at the Bataclan. Around 900 survivors and relatives of survivors were in attendance of the sold-out show at the Olympia, with 30 psychologists on hand to help anyone feeling overwhelmed during the evening.
"We were raised by decent people to be decent people — and besides, we were interrupted in the middle of an amazing rock and roll show," front man Jesse Hughes explained to CNN. Hughes said he'd been inspired by the way the French people came together after the attacks and felt it was important the band finish what they had started.
