The members of Eagles Of Death Metal remained silent in the days following the terrorist attack that killed 89 people at their concert in Paris, including their merch manager.
This morning, the band issued a statement on their Facebook page in response to the horrific event.
The band expresses condolences to those affected and thanks the law enforcement officials for their work. All future tour dates are canceled, though the band still conveyed positivity through it all, writing, “love overshadows evil.”
Read the band’s statement below.
"While the band is now home safe, we are horrified and still trying to come to terms with what happened in France. Our thoughts and hearts are first and foremost with our brother Nick Alexander, our record company comrades Thomas Ayad, Marie Mosser, and Manu Perez, and all the friends and fans whose lives were taken in Paris, as well as their friends, families, and loved ones.
Although bonded in grief with the victims, the fans, the families, the citizens of Paris, and all those affected by terrorism, we are proud to stand together, with our new family, now united by a common goal of love and compassion.
We would like to thank the French police, the FBI, the U.S. and French State Departments, and especially all those at ground zero with us who helped each other as best they could during this unimaginable ordeal, proving once again that love overshadows evil.
All EODM shows are on hold until further notice.
Vive la musique, vive la liberté, vive la France, and vive EODM."
