Eagles of Death Metal band members visit Paris theater where they survived massacre
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Members of the California rock band Eagles of Death Metal are back at the ravaged Paris theater where they survived a massacre by Islamic extremist suicide bombers.
They came Tuesday to the now-shuttered Bataclan theater in eastern Paris, whose facade has become a shrine to the at least 89 people killed inside. Silently and solemnly, band members lay flowers at the site. Some embraced, some wiped tears.
The band made a surprise return to Paris and performed with U2 on Monday night, their first on-stage appearance since the Nov. 13 attacks.
