The American rock band Eagles of Death Metal took the stage in Paris for the first time, less than a month after deadly attacks during their performance at the Bataclan Theatre.

The band was performing a concert in the French capital on November 13 when terrorists opened fire and killed 89 people. Its members performed at the end of a U2 concert at the AccorHotels Arena in the southeastern end of Paris.

U2's lead singer Bono hugged Eagles of Death Metal singer Jesse Hughes before singing together Patti Smith's "People Have The Power." The entire U2 concert will be broadcast on HBO on Monday at 9 p.m. EST.

U2 was supposed to play in Paris on November 14 and 15 as a part of its European iNNOCENCE + eXPERIENCE Tour but canceled following the Paris attacks.

In an exclusive interview with Vice twelve days after the attacks, Hughes and other members of the band expressed their desire to play in Paris as soon as possible.
