Members of the band Eagles of Death Metal, with Joshua Tree musician Dave Catching, made a surprise appearance during a concert by U2 in Paris, less than a month after terrorists attacked during the band’s performance at the Bataclan theater and killed 89 people. Monday night U2 was playing in Paris. U2 frontman Bono said there was “nothing left except to introduce you to some people whose lives will forever be a part of this city of Paris. They were robbed of their stage three weeks ago, and we would like to offer them ours tonight.” It was the first time the desert-based band performed since the attacks, which band members escaped under harrowing circumstances. The bands then played the Patti Smith song “People Have the Power.”
