Eagles Of Death Metal have given their first interview following the Paris terror attacks.
89 people were killed by gunmen at the band’s gig at Le Bataclan music venue on November 13 including their merch seller Nick Alexander. The venue was the worst hit during a series of of violent attacks in the French capital. A total of 129 people were killed and around 350 injured.
Speaking in a 26 minute filmed interview with Vice, each member of the band recounts the event. The interview then moves on to a discussion with frontman Jesse Hughes and co-founder Josh Homme, who was not on tour with the band during the Paris concert.
Hughes said that Eagles of Death Metal will continue and that he hopes they will be the first band to play Le Bataclan when it re-opens.
Josh Homme confirmed that the band will play the remaining dates on their European tour, which was postponed following the attacks.
“We represent the fans that did not make it, the people who did not make it, whose stories may never be told,” Homme added.
Josh Homme has pledged to help the victims of the Paris attacks. Homme is seeking donations through his charity Sweet Stuff Foundation.
