Eagles of Death Metal Dropped From French Festivals Over Bataclan Comments
Eagles of Death Metal have now been dropped by two French festivals, Rock En Seine and Cabaret Vert, after frontman Jesse Hughes made remarks about the Bataclan attacks in Paris. In this month's Taki's Magazine, he agreed with VICE co-founder Gavin McInnes that "liberal mentality" was the reason for the attacks.
Hughes continued, "I saw Muslims celebrating in the street during the attack. I saw it with my own eyes. In real time! How did they know what was going on? There must have been coordination." Back in March, the singer also implied in a Fox Business interview that the venue had some prior knowledge of the terrorist event.
