US rock band Eagles of Death Metal have appeared on stage in Paris, less than a month after deadly attacks during their performance in the French capital.
The band took to the stage to perform at the end of a U2 concert at the AccorHotels Arena.
"They were robbed of their stage three weeks ago and we would like to offer them ours tonight," said singer Bono.
Ninety of the 130 people who died in the 13 November attacks were killed at the concert at the Bataclan venue.
Bono embraced Eagles of Death Metal singer Jesse Hughes ahead of an emotional rendition of Patti Smith's People Have The Power.
An appearance by the Eagles of Death Metal at the 16,000-capacity arena had been rumoured, although U2 earlier released a statement saying that was incorrect.
The U2 concerts had been slated for 14 and 15 November but were rescheduled after the terrorist attacks.
