U2 paid a touching tribute to the victims of November’s terror attacks at their Paris concert following the Bataclan theatre concert tragedy.
The Dublin rockers had cancelled plans to perform in the French capital the night after the atrocities.
The four-piece dedicated their hit Pride to those who lost their lives in the attacks – showing each of the 130 victims’ names within a blue, white and red peace and love symbol on the giant screen.

 U2 frontman Bono also paid tribute the hundreds of others who have passed away due to terrorism and senseless acts of violence around the world, referencing the recent San Bernardino massacre. “Grief is like a wound that never fully closes,” he said. “I am still feeling it and I was 14 when my mother left me but she left me as an artist and this wound became an opening into another world and I found these three (pointing to his band). “Rock n’ roll saved me, these men saved me, you saved me. We can’t save you but our role tonight is to serve you. We have the privilege to be your servants this evening,” he divulged to the crowd.    Â

“We stand together with the families who lost their loved ones in Paris. We stand together with families in San Bernardino.
“We stand together with families in Beirut and Istanbul. We stand together before those with false ideologies of the god they serve,” he added, according to the Irish Independent.
Reports had suggested Eagles of Death Metal would join the band at on stage, however iconic singer Patti Smith appeared alongside the Irish rockers.
They performed three songs together including her anthem People Have the Power.
