(AFP) Members of American band Eagles of Death Metal testified Tuesday at the trial for the November 2015 attacks on Paris which saw gunmen attack the Bataclan concert hall while the rockers were playing.
Frontman Jesse Hughes and guitarist Eden Galindo arrived at the court complex in central Paris dressed in black suits before going on to describe how their gig six and [a] half years ago changed their lives forever.
Hughes told reporters outside that he had finally forgiven the Islamic State extremists who killed 90 people at the concert during the worst terror attack on France in modern history.
“I’m a Christian and everyone can be lost and everyone needs to find the way and most of the gentlemen in there do, so I forgive them and I hope that they find the peace of God themselves,” the 49-year-old told reporters.
