Queens of the Stone Age fans pay tribute to Eagles of Death Metal in a new video

Sometimes, fans go above and beyond what the bands they love could image. Last weekend, a handful of Queens of the Stone Age fans uploaded a video showing their support for the band Eagles of Death Metal following the Nov. 13 terrorist attacks in Paris, France. After seeing the video, Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme, who also helped put together Eagles of Death Metal, has written a response to the moving clip.

“I find it difficult to put into words how this video makes me feel,” Homme stated via Facebook. “I’m proud to be among you, part of you, one of you.”

The video shows footage of Queens of the Stone Age fans around the globe coming together to state a unified message supporting both Queens of the Stone Age and Eagles of Death Metal.

“Thank you for this kind & generous gift,” Homme added. “It means the world to me. I thank you with everything I have. I am humbled by you. I am in awe of you. What you have done, together? I will never forget this gift of kindness.”

Eagles of Death Metal were performing at the Bataclan concert hall in Paris on Nov. 13, when terrorists stormed the venue. Terrorists killed 89 people in the attack. Homme was not touring with Eagles of Death Metal at the Bataclan concert.
