  • (13 Nov 2016) EAGLES OF DEATH METAL FRONTMAN DENIES HE WAS REFUSED ENTRY TO PARIS' BATACLAN CONCERT HALL
    The lead singer of Eagles of Death Metal is denying that he was refused entry to the Paris club where the band was playing when it was stormed by suicide bombers a year ago.
    Jesse Hughes, speaking in Paris on Sunday, said he is here to pay tribute to the Nov. 13, 2015 attack victims, and called this city "a shining example of really the best possible way to react to something that's awful and evil."
    Hughes has criticized the Bataclan concert hall over the past year, notably questioning its security measures. A report by news agency AFP cited Bataclan co-director Jules Frutos as saying that he denied entry to Eagles band members at its reopening concert Saturday night.
    Hughes told reporters Sunday that he went to the Bataclan because "I just wanted to see the place open. But I never actually tried to go into the show. ... I don't know what he's talking about. It's going to be a little bit harder to get rid of me than that, you know what I mean? I love this place."
    Bataclan management would not comment on the report.
    The Nov. 13, 2015 attacks killed 130 people at cafes, the national stadium and the Bataclan, where 90 died.
