On November 13, 2015, terrorists attacked a sold-out EAGLES OF DEATH METAL concert at the Bataclan in Paris as part of a coordinated wave of attacks across the city. Around 1,500 fans were inside when gunmen opened fire; 90 people were killed at the venue, out of 130 victims that night. Among them was Nick Alexander, who ran the band's merchandise table on the European tour. Singer Jesse Hughes escaped backstage with guitarist Eden Galindo and drummer Julian Dorio, while bassist Matt McJunkins and guitarist Dave Catching hid until French police evacuated them. On December 7 the band joined U2 on stage in Paris, and on February 16, 2016, they returned to the city's Olympia, with Bataclan ticket holders admitted free; Colin Hanks's documentary "Nos Amis (Our Friends)" premiered on HBO in 2017.
