The Deftones have cancelled the remaining dates of their European tour after a close call while in Paris, France during this past Friday’s (November 13th) terrorist attacks. Members of the band were in attendance at the Eagles Of Death Metal‘s concert at Le Bataclan just prior to several armed gunmen storming the venue and killing 89 of those in attendance.
Frontman Chino Moreno detailed his experience in Paris, France during the time of the attacks here. The band were in fact scheduled to begin a three-day residency at Le Bataclan yesterday, November 14th. They have since posted the following on their plans to return home:
“Hello all- Much has been said, as well as seen, on every media outlet about the events in Paris. Some of us were in attendance at the Le Bataclan, and the rest of our family, just blocks away on this night. We have been to Paris many, many times, and we’ve had some of the most amazing shows in this tremendously electric city.
With this being said, and with our deepest condolences, love and respect to everyone affected, and to all of us who share this planet, we must return home to our loved ones. We will return when appropriate.
For ticket holders, we will have more information soon, so please hang tight.
Until then, please never forget the power of gathering, and one of the most unbelievable feelings of all: that P.M.A.With much love and respect, Deftones“
