Despite reports, Eagles of Death Metal will not be performing in Paris with U2 this weekend.

“We’re back in Paris and it’s great to be here. Some people have been saying that Eagles of Death Metal will appear on stage with U2 tonight. This is not the case. We have another surprise guest planned for tonight’s show,” U2 wrote in a statement on their website.

U2 is set to play two shows for Paris fans after they were forced to postpone their November shows following the horrific attacks in Paris that left 130 people dead.

The band Eagles of Death Metal, who were playing at The Bataclan in Paris when gunmen stormed the building and killed innocent concert-goers, are opening up for the first time about the horrific attacks.

The guys – Jesse Hughes, Eddie Galindo, Julian Dorio, and Josh Homme – sat down with Vice magazine.

“At first, I thought it was the PA cracking up,” Eddie said. “And then I realized real quick that it wasn’t, and I recognized what it was…We weren’t sure if they were targeting us or what was going on.”

Julian said, “I immediately knew something was wrong. I bailed off my stool almost immediately…I turned, looked through my drum hardware to the side of an amp, and that’s when the second round started.”

Their sound engineer Shawn London said he made eye contact with one of the shooters. “He stayed there and continued to shoot and shoot and slaughter. And just scream at the top of his lungs, ‘Allah akbar.’ That’s when I instantly knew what was going on.”

“Several people hid in our dressing room and the killers were able to get in and killed every one of them, except for a kid who was hiding under my leather jacket,” Jesse explained.

He tearfully adedd, “People were playing dead and they were so scared. A great reason why so many people were killed was because so many people wouldn’t leave their friends. So many people put themselves in front of people.”
