Eagles of Death Metal joined U2 on stage last night at AccorHotels Arena, marking their first time in Paris since the terror attacks on November 13th.
89 people were killed at the band’s gig when terrorists entered the building and wreaked destruction.
This was just one of a number of attacks that night, all of which were co-ordinated by the Islamic State. 132 people died in total.
U2 frontman Bono invited the band on stage and said: “they were robbed of their stage three weeks ago and we would like to offer ours tonight”.

EODM frontman Jesse Hughes wore a white suit while Bono dressed in his trademark black as they joined their bandmates for a rousing rendition of People Have The Power.
