The 'Eagles of Death Metal' band's lead singer Jesse Hughes has revealed that only one survived the Paris massacre by hiding under his leather jacket.

In a recent interview, the 43-year-old singer revealed that several people hid in the band's dressing room during the attack. However, the killers found them and killed each of them, except for a kid who was hiding under his leather jacket, the Guardian reports.

He added, "People were playing dead and they were so scared and a great reason so many were killed was because so many people wouldn't leave their friends. So many people put themselves in front of people."

It is being said that eighty-nine of the Paris attacks' 130 deaths were at the band's concert on 13 November and more than 100 were injured.
