Eagles of Death Metal play first full gig since Paris attacks

Band headlined Stockholm gig three months after Le Bataclan terrorist attack

Eagles Of Death Metal resumed their European tour last night, playing their first gig since the Paris attacks of November 2015.

The band played at Stockholm’s Debaser Medis in Sweden exactly three months after the attack on Le Bataclan last year. Eagles of Death Metal were headlining at the venue when armed terrorists opened fire on the band and audience, killing 89 people including merchandise manager Nick Alexander.

Prior to the Stockhol gig, fontman Jesse Hughes gave an emotional interview on Swedish TV, describing himself as, “a raw nerve.” See footage from the Nyhetsmorgon interview below.
