The band Eagles of Death Metal was banned from entering the Bataclan

Members of the Eagles of Death Metal group, Californian rockers whose concert last year was massacred in the Bataclan, were banned from entering that hall during Sting's concert on Saturday due to the controversial statements of their singer.

"They came, I threw them out. There are things you cannot forgive," said the director of the Paris hall, Julien Frutos.

The band's frontman Jesse Hughes, one of two band members who tried to enter Sting's concert which reopened the Bataclan after a year of inactivity, caused disbelief in France earlier this year by claiming that Muslim members of the hall's security were complicit in the massacre.

A year ago, on November 13, Islamic State terrorists stormed the EODM concert in the Bataclan and killed 90 people. Frutos said he was sick of hearing Hughes' conspiracy theories.

"He makes probably false statements every two months. To accuse our security of collaborating with terrorists, that's madness. And that's enough. It has to stop," said Frutos.

Hughes is a big supporter of Donald Trump. He recently said without any evidence that Muslims were celebrating outside the hall when they heard about the massacre. His statements damaged the reputation of the band and angered the managers of the hall. Several scheduled EODM performances at summer festivals in France have been cancelled. Before making the controversial statements, Hughes said he wanted to be the first to play at the Bataclan again.
