Eagles of Death Metal have returned to the stage in Paris to ‘resume their gig’ three months after it was cut short by jihadist terrorists.

The Californian rock band were playing at the Bataclan concert hall on November 13 when the gig was hijacked by four Islamist militants, who killed 89 fans there.

Tonight, Eagles of Death Metal performed at the city’s Olympia Theatre as the Bataclan has been closed since the horrific attack.

Frontman Jesse Hughes, who is Catholic, told AFP: ‘I take it as a very sacred duty. I feel we were elected by circumstances to represent this for good or bad. I take that as a responsibility I’m charged by God to do.’



The musician revealed that he was planning to meet some of the survivors during his visit to Paris.

He said: ‘There’s a lot of kids who were injured who didn’t die, who are really f**ked up physically and if me just coming to visit is gonna help them, that’s f**king great and there’s nothing more important in my life.’

The concert raid was one of seven co-ordinated attacks across Paris, which killed 130 people.
