The band on stage at Le Bataclan concert hall in Paris managed to escape after the gunman stormed the popular theatre Friday night and opened fire on spectators, according to reports, but it’s uncertain whether all of their crew members made it out safely.
California band Eagles of Death Metal posted on Facebook early Saturday morning in Paris to say the band’s “thoughts were with all of the people involved in this tragic situation.”
The attackers laid siege to the venue in one of six attacks across Paris Friday night, including explosions near Stade de France β where French president Francois Hollande was watching a soccer match between France and Germany β and a shooting at a popular Cambodian restaurant.

While the band said it was still trying to account for all of its members and crew, drummer Julian Dorio’s mother told the Washington Post the band members are safe.
“It was awful,” Mary Lou Dorio told the Post, saying her son was speaking with police and managed to call his wife.
Just hours earlier, Dorio posted a photo on Instagram showing him biking around Paris ahead of the band’s show at Le Bataclan.
