U2 has rescheduled two shows in Paris postponed after the November 13 attacks in the city.
In a statement on Monday, frontman Bono promised the band would “put on our best for Paris.”
From Dublin, Bono said the gunmen and bombers who killed 130 people “took lives, took music, took peace of mind — but they couldn’t steal the spirit of that city. It’s a spirit our band knows well and will try to serve when we return for the postponed shows.”
U2 had been due to play Paris on November 14 and 15; the new concerts were scheduled for December 6 and 7.
Tickets for the cancelled shows will be valid for the rescheduled dates, and the December 7 show is due to be broadcast on HBO, like the first November show.
