Less than a month after terrorists opened fire at a concert hall in Paris where the rock band, Eagles of Death Metal, were playing, the group returned to the city to perform briefly with U2.

Toward the end of the concert, U2's frontman Bono announced the group.

"There's nothing left but to introduce you to some people whose lives will forever be a part of the life of Paris," he said according to The New York Times. "These are our brothers. They were robbed of their stage three weeks ago, and we would like to offer them ours tonight."

Must have been very difficult, probably shaking like a leaf up there, but good for them for getting right back on the horse.

How many wanna bet that there will be an entourage WITH GUNS this time?

thank you for posting.

this is a good story.

love that they jointly performed Patti Smith’s “People have the power!”.

(When I saw U2 in July in NYC, that is what Bono walked in and out on....always like to have the high priestess of punk get appropriate recognition!).
