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 joint rendition of Patti Smith's People Have The Power.

EODM then performed I Love You All The Time.

An appearance by the EAGLES OF DEATH METAL at the 16,000-capacity arena had been heavily rumoured.

One concertgoer, Vera Golloch, told Agence France-Presse that everyone wanted to be at Monday's gig.

"It's historic and important, it really is," she said
