Watch: Eagles of Death Metal kick off their first tour since attack on the Bataclan
The band’s performance in Stockholm marks the beginning of their ‘Nos Amis’ tour which will return to Paris this week
Eagles of Death Metal returned to the stage in Stockholm on Saturday exactly three months after the terror attacks that saw their Paris concert tragically torn apart.
While the rock ensemble did appear at Paris' AccorHotels Arena to help close out U2's Paris concert three weeks after the terror attacks, the Stockholm gig marked Eagles of the Death Metal's first concert of their ‘Nos Amis’ Tour.
The American group kicked off their trek at Stockholm's Debaser Medis, where they performed a 17-song set that included a cover of Duran Duran's ‘Save a Prayer’ as well as their own ‘I Love You All the Time,’ which has become a kind of anthem for the band following the Bataclan attack.
‘Nos Amis Tour’ will encompass a number of rescheduled dates from their European tour that were cut short after the death of 89 of their fans in November.
The band will be returning to Paris on Tuesday for a show at the French capital’s Olympia venue; the Bataclan has yet to reopen since the terror attack. A gesture of respect and kindness will see that the fans who held tickets to the Bataclan concert in November will attend the Olympia concert for free.
The band will be making good on their promise to fans which frontman Jessie Hughes laid out in a former statement:
“Not returning to finish our set was never an option. We look forward to coming back in February and continuing our mission to bring rock & roll to the world."
