Eagles of Death Metal frontman Jesse Hughes recently alleged during an interview with FOX Business Network that the Bataclan venue's security team may have been in on the November 13th, 2015 terror attacks in Paris that left 89 people dead. Hughes made the allegations in the interview saying he became suspicious when security staff didn't show up at the venue the day of the band's concert. 

Check out a few clips from the interview below.

Following the interview, a Bataclan representative issued the following statement: "Jesse Hughes spread some very grave and defamatory accusations against the Bataclan teams. A judicial investigation is undergoing. We wish to let justice proceed serenely. All the testimonies gathered to this day demonstrate the professionalism and courage of the security agents who were on the ground on November 13th. Hundreds of people were saved thanks to (these agents') intervention."

Hughes has since released the following statement regarding his comments:

"I humbly beg forgiveness from the people of France, the staff and security of the Bataclan, my fans, family, friends and anyone else hurt or offended by the absurd accusations I made in my Fox Business channel interview. My suggestions that anyone affiliated with the Bataclan played a role in the events of November 13th are unfounded and baseless — and I take full responsibility for them. They do not reflect opinions of my bandmates or anyone associated with Eagles Of Death Metal. The shame is 100% mine. I've been dealing with non-stop nightmares and struggling through therapy to make sense of this tragedy and insanity. I haven't been myself since November 13. I realize there's no excuse for my words, but for what it's worth: I am sincerely sorry for having hurt, disrespected or accused anyone."

Hughes recounted the horrific massacre in an interview Saturday (February 13th) on Sweden's TV4, saying he realized what was happening the moment that gunshots rang out in the cheering concert hall.

The attack started after "a very last note of the song, like almost a diabolical synchronicity," Hughes said. "I knew exactly what was going on."

A portion of the NBC transcript:

Tears welled up in his eyes as he described watching fans he knew succumbing to the barrage of bullets, and then his own horrifying search for his girlfriend.

"I didn't see my girl, Tuesday. She's, you know, the love of my life and ... I went back up into the backstage area to look for her and she wasn't there, and then I opened up a hallway and when I went inside the hallway there was a dude at the end of it holding a gun," Hughes said.

The musician said the gunman fired: "I thought I was dead, I just waited for the shots to hit me." But Hughes escaped and eventually found Tuesday.

When she called out his name, "there's never been the sweeter-sounding voice that you can imagine," he said.
