Rockers Eagles of Death Metal returned to the stage in Stockholm, Sweden to perform their first full gig since terrorists opened fire at their show in Paris, France in November last year.
Jesse Hughes and his bandmates were midway through their gig at the Bataclan concert hall on November 13 when gunmen stormed the building and fired at the audience, killing 89 revellers, reported Rolling Stone magazine.
The musicians, who escaped without injury, postponed the remainder of their Nos Amis tour in the immediate aftermath of the tragedy, which was part of a wider attack on the city, leaving a total of 130 people dead.
They returned to the French capital for the first time since the attacks to join U2 for a special appearance at the AccorHotels Arena in December last year, when the two bands joined forces to sing a rendition of Patti Smith's "People Have The Power", and ended their set with a collaboration of Eagles of Death Metal's own song, "I Love You All the Time".
The band announced plans to resume its European tour days later, and on Saturday, Hughes and company were back in action at Stockholm's Debaser Medis, where they played a 17-song set, including a cover of Duran Duran's "Save a Prayer".
Eagles of Death Metal are slated to head back to Paris on Tuesday, when they will play at the Olympia venue. Fans who were at the Bataclan show in November have been offered free tickets to the new concert.
