France reopens Bataclan with concert

France has reopened Bataclan in Paris with a music concert by Rock Star, Sting to remember those who were gunned down one year ago.

Recall that Bataclan was a horrific site in November 2015 when three Islamic militants gunned down 90 revelers, Reuters reports.

The attack is on record as France’s bloodiest terror attack.

“Tonight we have two tasks to achieve: first to remember those who lost their lives in the attack, and then to celebrate life and music in this historic place,” the performer said.

On Nov. 13, 2015, the assailants burst through the music hall’s main entrance and sprayed automatic gunfire into the crowd as the Californian rock band the Eagles of Death Metal played on stage.

During a more than two-hour long assault, the attackers executed some victims and took others hostage. The attack ended after one militant was shot dead and the two others killed themselves by detonating explosive vests.

In coordinated strikes that night, other gunmen and suicide bombers targeted a soccer stadium and several cafes in Paris. In all, the Islamic State militants killed 130 people.

A survivor of the attack, Adrien, who lost two friends that night, said: “It was my duty to come, to remember those who died here.”

Another of the concert-goer said: “Tonight was beautiful. He set the place alight and we forgot our fears.”

The Paris attacks prompted the government to impose a state of emergency, which remains in place, following attacks this summer in Nice and Normandy.

Proceeds from Saturday’s Bataclan gig will go to two charities helping survivors of the Paris attacks.

“Long live the Bataclan,” Sting said as he left the stage.
