The Eagles of Death Metal are returning to Paris this week to finish the show which was interrupted by a terrorist massacre at the Bataclan.

Many survivors of the November attack will be in the crowd at the Olympia Hall on Tuesday for a sold-out gig.

Psychologists will also be inside the venue to offer help to anyone who might find the experience brings back traumatic flashbacks.

Survivor Maureen Roussel told The Sunday Times: “We're going to find ourselves in a traumatic situation - for many of us it'll be the first concert we've been too since the attacks.

“There's that fear of it happening again.”

Yesterday, three months after the attacks which killed 130 people in the French capital, the band kicked off their rescheduled European tour in Sweden.

A statement on the band's website said: "Fans who were at the Bataclan show on November 13th will be entitled to a free ticket for the rescheduled Paris date at the Olympia Theatre on February 16th.

"They must contact their original ticket supplier between January 5th and January 20th to claim their ticket."
