Rockers in Paris attacks to return to US
November 14, 2015 21:53
Eagles of Death Metal, the California rockers whose concert in Paris turned into a massacre, will cut short a European tour and return home, promoters said today.
The band -- known more for its raunchy humor than any political inclination -- will cut short a European tour that had been due to run until December 10 in Portugal.
The band had been due to play tonight in Tourcoing in northern France before a show the following day in Brussels.
The Deftones, another California band that had been present last night at the Bataclan concert hall in Paris, will also return home, the promoter said.
The Deftones, known for experimental metal, had three shows scheduled at the Bataclan from today to Monday. The group was in the audience yesterday, after posting pictures of Paris tourist sites on social media.
The Bataclan, built in 1864 in a chinoiserie style, turned into a bloodbath last night after four black-clad attackers opened fire with automatic weapons, killing at least 82 people. The band itself was reported to be safe.
