Eagles of the Metal, the band performing at the Paris music venue Bataclan, when terrorists opened fire, have commented about the tragedy on their Facebook page.
“We are still currently trying to determine the safety and whereabouts of all our band and crew. Our thoughts are with all of the people involved in this tragic situation,” the band said in a statement.
Eagles of Death Metal features Jesse Hughes and Queens of the Stone Age’s Josh Homme. All members of the band are confirmed safe but French media are now confirming 100 people may have been killed at the venue.
According to CNN “French radio reporter Julien Pearce was inside the Bataclan theater when gunmen entered. Two men dressed in black started shooting what he described as AK-47s, and after wounded people fell to the floor, the two gunmen shot them again, execution-style, he said. The two men didn’t wear masks and didn’t say anything. The gunfire lasted 10 to 15 minutes, sending the crowd inside the small concert hall into a screaming panic, said Pearce, who escaped. He said he saw 20 to 25 bodies lying on the floor”.
