IT was during the concert tour of the California rock band Eagles of Death Metal when armed men stormed the Le Bataclan theater in Paris and massacred people inside. While many died in the terrorist attack, there is still a question of whether the members of the band are safe.

Family members said the band, including singer and guitarist Jesse Hughes, were able to escape the attack. But some members of the crew were unaccounted for.

The Facebook page of the band has this latest statement posted:

“We are still currently trying to determine the safety and whereabouts of all our band and crew. Our thoughts are with all of the people involved in this tragic situation.”

More than 100 people were counted dead at the central Paris club, which holds about 1,500 people and was sold out. Many others were reported wounded.
