The lead singer of rock back Eagles of Death Metal has told how Paris terrorists slaughtered fans hiding in the band's dressing room after striking at their concert.

In an emotional interview Jesse Hughes, 43, described how just one person in the room survived - by hiding under the vocalist's leather jacket.

Eighty-nine of the Paris attacks' 130 deaths were at the band's gig on November 13, where Islamist gunmen struck, firing indiscriminately at the crowd.

More than 100 more were injured in the venue.
