Frontman Jesse Hughes repeatedly told the hundreds who attended the show that he "loves" them, and at one point brandished a guitar painted in the colours of the French tricolore flag.

"You have no idea how much I love you... You have no idea how much I needed you tonight and you did not let me down," he said at one point.

Survivors of the attacks were offered free tickets to the show.
