U2 performed the second of two concerts in Paris on Monday night, and the Eagles of Death Metal shocked guests by joining the Irish rock band on stage.
The heavy metal band had been rumored to join U2 at the first concert on Sunday, but they informed fans via social media that they would not make it. Surprise, surprise, when the next night they arrived at the AccorHotels Arena alongside Bono.
It's difficult to imagine how heart-rending it must have been for the group to return to the city after Daesh members attacked their concert in the country's capital just last month, murdering dozens of attendees.
The band shared this touching post on Facebook about their experience back in Paris, "We want to offer our heartfelt thanks and appreciation for everything our brothers in U2 did for us in the aftermath of the November 13 attacks. They reminded us that the bad guys never take a day off, and therefore we rock ’n rollers cannot either…and we never will. We are incredibly grateful to U2 for providing us the opportunity to return to Paris so quickly, and to share in the healing power of rock ‘n roll with so many of the beautiful people – nos amis – of this great city. Thank you to Bono, The Edge, Larry and Adam, thank you to their wonderful management, thank you to France, and thank you to everyone in the world who continues to prove that love, joy, and music will always overcome terror and evil. We look forward to fighting the good fight on many more fronts very soon, especially when we pick up our tour in 2016.
"See you again in February, Paris."
