PARIS ATTACKS: Terrorists slaughtered fans hiding in Bataclan dressing room, says Eagles of Death Metal singer

The lead singer of rock band Eagles of Death Metal has told how terrorists slaughtered fans hiding in the band’s dressing room at the Bataclan in Paris.

In an emotional interview with Vice News, Jesse Hughes, 43, described how just one person in the room survived — by hiding under the vocalist’s leather jacket.

At least 130 people are now known to have died in the Paris attacks on November 13, 89 of which were killed at the band’s gig.

Vice released a clip of an interview by its founder Shane Smith with Jesse and band co-founder Josh Homme (who wasn’t at the Bataclan), ahead of the full interview being released on Vice this week.

In the video, a clearly emotional Hughes said: “People were playing dead and they were so scared — a great reason so many were killed was because so many people wouldn’t leave their friends. So many people put themselves in front of people.”
