Eagles Of Death Metal veröffentlichen Statement nach #ParisAttacks


„Es lebe die Musik“, schreiben die Eagles Of Death Metal in einem Statement nach den Anschlägen vom 13. November 2015 in Paris.

Der Schock nach den Anschlägen in Paris sitzt immer noch tief, auch bei den Eagles Of Death Metal. Während ihres Konzertes im Pariser Bataclan-Theater kam es zu einer Geiselnahme, die mindestens 89 Tote forderte. Nachdem die Band jetzt endlich sicher zu Hause angekommen ist und ein paar Tage Luft holen konnte, trauern sie in einem bewegenden Statement um die Opfer, unter denen auch Nick Alexander, ein Crewmitglied der Band, ist. Auf ihrer Facebook-Seite postete die Rockband folgende Worte:

„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.“
