The concert venue that was struck by the terrible terrorist attack last November in Paris will reopen its doors on November 13th. The first concert to be held will be Sting’s, which will take place one day after the tragic anniversary of the attack were 90 people were killed and many were injured. All revenue from Sting’s performance will be donated to the charities Life For Paris and 13 Novembre: Fraternite Verite. Sting previously played at the Bataclan with The Police in 1979. He says: “In reopening the Bataclan, we have two important tasks to reconcile. First, to remember and honour those who lost their lives in the attack a year ago, and second to celebrate the life and the music that this historic theatre represents. In doing so we hope to respect the memory as well as the life affirming spirit of those who fell. We shall not forget them.”
