CALIFORNIAN rock band Eagles of Death Metal will return to Paris on Tuesday night to finish the concert that a hail of terrorists’ bullets turned into a bloodbath.

The group will perform to a full house at the Olympia hall in a concert for survivors of the November 13 Bataclan massacre that killed 90 of their fans, the Sunday Times of London reported.

The band joined U2 on a Parisian stage in December to play a song, but Tuesday’s event is its first full concert in the city since the attacks.

“We don’t know how we’ll react,” said Maureen Roussel, 28, who escaped the concert hall unharmed.

Forty others died in co-ordinated attacks on other targets nearby.

Georges Salines, 58, said he would go to in memory of his daughter Lola, 28, who was killed at the Bataclan.

Salines, who had never heard of the quirky California band before the massacre, has set up an association for survivors and victims’ relatives.
