Nel terrore che ha sconvolto Parigi nella notte di venerdi è finita sotto attacco anche la musica degli Eagles of Death Metal che stavano tenendo un concerto nella capitale francese.
Con la band lavorava Nick Alexander che ha perso la vita durante la strage al Le Bataclan. Il ragazzo inglese di 36 anni era l’addetto al merchadising, e in passato aveva lavorato anche con Sum41, Underoath, Panic at the Disco! e tanti altri.
Gli Eagles of Death Metal, rock band ideata da Jess Hughes e Josh Homme (che però non era con il resto del gruppo), avrebbero dovuto arrivare in Italia per 3 concerti a Dicembre a Roncade – Treviso, Roma e Torino, ma, compresibilmente, tutto il tour è stato annullato.

Le parole degli Underoath:
Yesterday was a tragic day for Paris and the entire world. Along with so many others, we lost someone special to us; a dear friend and crew member Nick Alexander. Through traveling with him on many Europe and UK tours Nick became a dear friend and was honestly just a great guy to be around. He was working with Eagles of Death Metal across Europe and we were heartbroken to learn he was a victim in last nights shootings. If you’d like to help his family in a tangible way, here is a link to a GoFundMe account to help his family in this time of need. We won’t forget the amazing times we shared with this amazing human being. Let’s do what Nick would have raised a glass to: Love each other more.
RIP Nick Alexander
