The last few hours have been a whirlwind, trying to cover the ongoing terrorist attack of the Paris venue Bataclan, where 100 people have been reported as being senselessly murdered at the conclusion of an Eagles of Death Metal concert.
Many musicians have taken to Twitter to offer their condolences:
We mourn this tragic loss of life and stand with the world to salute your joie de vivre. Paix. pic.twitter.com/TrLFgnlRaK

We played Le Bataclan in 2010. Heartbreaking scene there right now. Preying on innocent, defenseless people is appalling and cowardly.
