U2 have officially announced the makeup date for the Paris concert they cancelled in the wake of the Paris terrorist attacks. The band was originally scheduled to perform in the city on November 14. Now, according to a press release, the show will take place December 7, with a live HBO broadcast scheduled for 9 p.m. EST. “So much that was taken from Paris on the tragic night of November 13 is irreplaceable,” said U2 frontman Bono. “For one night, the killers took lives, took music, took peace of mind – but they couldn’t steal the spirit of that city. It’s a spirit our band knows well and will try to serve when we return for the postponed shows on December 6 and 7. We’re going to put on our best for Paris.” HBO’s Paris broadcast is one of two U2 specials planned to promote the band’s Innocence + Experience Tour. The film, combined with a documentary helmed by Oscar-winning director Davis Guggenheim, promises to deliver what HBO’s president of programming, Michael Lombardo, described as “the ultimate look at this remarkable band behind the scenes and on the stage.” Copyright(c) 2015 RTTNews.com.
