The musicians said they were bonded in grief with the fans, victims and anyone who is affected by terrorism.

The "Eagles of Death Metal's" concert at the Bataclan Hall in Paris, was stormed by gunmen Friday night.

The Palm Desert, Calif. rock band paid their respects to the dead, thanked the French police and told fans that their concerts are on hold until further notice, reported Billboard.

"Eagles of Death Metal" posted their statement on Facebook, Wednesday morning.

"We would like to thank the French police," the group's statement continued, "the F.B.I., the U.S. and French State Departments, and especially all those at ground zero with us who helped each other as best they could during this unimaginable ordeal, proving once again that love overshadows evil."

An audience member's video showed the band onstage rocking out when shots rang out in quick succession. Out of the 129 people reported dead in the massacre, 89 were at the Bataclan.

Among those killed were 36-year old Nick Alexander. He was well known among touring musicians and was from Colchester, England. He was selling band merchandise during the band's concert.
