U2 ‘shocked’ by deadly Paris attacks, cancels concert

Fourteen are reported dead as a result of a shooting in a restaurant, Le Petit Cambodge, another 19 dead outside the La Belle Equipe bar, while four others were killed on Avenue de la Republique.

He wasn’t at the Paris gig, according to a publicist for the Eagles’ record label. They released their fourth studio album, Zipper Down, last month.

A few governments announced that their citizens had been killed without giving names. Friends and family spent all day trying to find Marie Lausch and Mathias Dymarski but their worst fears were confirmed late on 14 November.

But, if you do nothing else, watch this moving speech by The Project’s Waleed Aly, which beautifully and eloquently demonstrates the need for humanity to band together even more strongly in times such as these, and refuse to accept anyone preaching hate towards innocent Muslims in our communities.

A source in the concert business, though, says those discussions have already begun.

They dashed to a nearby police station, where Julian Dorio borrowed someone’s cellphone to call his family in Atlanta, Michael Dorio said. “Bullets started to fly again in our direction so we ran, crawled and got into a tiny dark room next to the stage”.

“We are just holding our breath and saying prayers for everyone”.

In the meantime reports suggest that the members of the band were safe. “Our thoughts are with all of the people involved in this tragic situation”.

The 36-year-old was one of 129 people killed by ISIS on Friday night.

HBO had planned to televise the band’s performance.

Eagles of Death Metal, the California rockers whose concert in Paris turned into a massacre, will cut short a European tour and return home, promoters said Saturday. “We’re going to do whatever it takes to work with French people and nations around the world to bring these terrorists to justice and go after any terrorist networks that go after our people”.

“Thank for all your inquiries on our well being”, they said on Facebook. “Band/Crew all safe and accounted for at this time”.

“Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of those affected by these awful events”, read a post on the theme park’s website. “I think U2 has a role to play and I can’t wait till we get back to Paris and play and that’s what I’m feeling from the messages we’re receiving from music fans is these people will not set our agenda”.

“We do not know if the passport was checked by other countries through which the holder likely passed”.
