British singer Sting will star in the upcoming Nov. 12 reopening of Parisian concert hall "Bataclan" where almost a year ago 90 people died in one of the simultaneous attacks in the French capital by the terrorist militia Islamic State. This was confirmed today by Sting himself through Twitter after the French broadcaster BFMTV give up the news. "The first is to honor those killed in the attacks of a year ago and, second, celebrate life and music that represents this historic room," said singer and bassist of The Police. Proceeds from the concert will offer in "Bataclan" will go entirely to a relief fund for victims of the attacks. With the reopening "expect respect both memory and the vital spirit of those who died. We do not forget," Sting said in a statement. The rocker act accompanied by a three-member band and perform songs from his new album, "57th & 9th".

On November 13, 2015, members of the terrorist militia Islamic State (EI) killed 130 people in several simultaneous attacks in Paris. The terrorists fired indiscriminately at people in both the "Bataclan" room, where a concert was taking place, as in bars and restaurants. In the Stade de France, three attackers blew themselves up for a match between the football teams of France and Germany. Only in "Bataclan" killed 90 people. The concert hall has been closed since then and has been renovated preserving the original style. "We want to maintain their warmth and their environment," the team said. So far, the first concert was scheduled for November 16, with the British Pete Doherty. The city of Paris will mark the first anniversary of the slaughter with posters with the names of the victims and a ceremony in which BFMTV participate as members of the band Eagles of Death Metal, who acted in "Bataclan" when terrorists stormed.
