What an emotional night for the Eagles of Death Metal.
On Monday night, U2 performed alongside EODM at the AccorHotels Arena in Paris, the band’s FIRST performance since the devastating terror attacks that occurred last month. Needless to say, the collaboration was incredibly moving and inspiring.
Lead singer Bono introduced the band with a simple yet sweet tribute, saying:
“They were robbed of their stage three weeks ago and we would like to offer them ours tonight.”

So special. We’re glad the rockers weren’t alone for their first performance following the tragedy.
Check out EODM’s post on the transformative experience (below):
Aww. We definitely need a tissue or two after reading that message!
We’re just glad U2 was able to include the band in their rescheduled gigs (the group was originally slated to perform on November 14 and 15, just days after the shootings). Not to mention it was nice to see the icons observe the lives lost with a huge display of the French tricolor and the names of those who died. Bono also penned a new tribute song in honor of the victims called Streets of Surrender.
Stay strong, EODM!
