The US rock band visited the concert venue - now a shrine to the dead - to lay flowers less than a month on from the atrocities by jihadists in the French capital.

Ignoring the rain as they stood just yards away from where they were playing when the attack started, they embraced one another as they read messages in silence, fighting to contain their emotions.

Frontman Jesse Hughes cried openly before speaking briefly to thank the small group of fans at the site, also there to pay their own personal tributes.

The band made the emotional visit after a surprise return to Paris when they joined U2 on stage for an encore on Monday night, belting out the Patti Smith anthem People Have The Power.

Ninety people were killed in the Bataclan on November 13 out of a total of 130 murdered in bars, cafes and restaurants in the unprecedented shootings.
