Sting performed at Paris’ historical Bataclan concert hall on Saturday, in the first show at the venue since 90 people were killed at the location nearly one year ago.
The musician took the the iconic venue to performing songs from his latest album, 57th & 9th, for survivors of the attacks and their families along with about a thousand other guests. Proceeds from the event are expected to go to two charities, Life For Paris and the 13 Novembre Fraternité Verité.
The British singer paused during the concert to speak in French to the audience about the horrific tragedy.
While asking audience members to observe a moment of silence, Sting added, “We will not forget them.”
