Deftones Postpone European Dates Following Paris Attacks

Deftones have postponed their European tour, including their forthcoming London date at the SSE Arena Wembley, following the attacks in Paris.

Members of the band were in attendance at an Eagles of Death Metal show at Le Bataclan on Friday night when the venue was targeted by terrorists.

Deftones had been due to begin a three night residency at the theatre the following day, prior to calling in London on November 21. In a statement, they said:

Hello all-

Much has been said, as well as seen, on every media outlet about the events in Paris. Some of us were in attendance at the Le Bataclan, and the rest of our family, just blocks away on this night. We have been to Paris many, many times, and we’ve had some of the most amazing shows in this tremendously electric city.

With this being said, and with our deepest condolences, love and respect to everyone affected, and to all of us who share this planet, we must return home to our loved ones. We will return when appropriate.

For ticket holders, we will have more information soon, so please hang tight.

Until then, please never forget the power of gathering, and one of the most unbelievable feelings of all: that P.M.A.

With much love and respect,

Deftones
