The terrorist attacks in Paris in November 2015 included a shooting by three men armed with assault rifles inside the Bataclan Theatre during a concert performance by Eagles of Death Metal, claiming 89 lives. Dan Auerbach and his band the Arcs had a concert in Paris on the same night at another nearby venue, Le Trianon. 
About this experience, Dan Auerbach said: “I know people that were there last night. I know people who are like, ‘What am I gonna do – see the Arcs or the Eagles of Death Metal?’ And I’ve woken up feeling very out of sorts. What do you call it, survivor’s remorse? Why the hell did it happen there and not where we were playing? I’m just so brokenhearted about all those people.”
