Report: EAGLES OF DEATH METAL To Play Paris With U2; May Continue European Tour In February

A source tells Billboard Eagles Of Death Metal will join U2 for its final song this Sunday, December 6th at Paris’ AccorHotels Arena. And that’s not all — Eagles Of Death Metal will continue its halted European tour in February 2016.

The report also says the December 6th Eagles Of Death Metal performance will include co-founder Josh Homme, who often does not tour with the band and was not present at the November 13 attack.

Following the terrorist assault on Eagles Of Death Metal’s Paris concert, the group has called upon artists of all genres to cover its Zipper Down track “I Love You All The Time” with the intention of donating all proceeds to the families of the attack’s victims, including the band’s merchandise manager Nick Alexander, reports Daniel Kreps of Rolling Stone.

My Morning Jacket were among the first to cover the song at their New York City gig Saturday, and now the Dean Ween Group have contributed their own buoyant version of the track alongside a message from Eagles Of Death Metal’s Josh Homme.

“The senseless and violent terrorist attacks of November 13th, 2015 in Paris have left us all unsettled and we dare not give another second of precious time to those who have tried to steal our freedoms and take away our power,” Homme wrote. “Instead, we are writing to ask for your help to ‘Play It Forward.’

“We are calling upon our friends to donate their time, talent and good will in a show of solidarity to help the victims of these atrocious acts in Paris and those affected by terrorism worldwide. We are asking for you to cover our song ‘I Love You All the Time.’ For every cover sold, we pledge to donate 100 percent of the publishing income to The Sweet Stuff Foundation. We ask that you also donate the money generated from sales of the song to the charity. In the same spirit, we would encourage you to offer one of your songs up to be covered by another artist, and follow suit – donate the publishing monies to charity – the ‘Play it Forward Initiative.'” Learn more at this location.
