Eagles Of Death Metal lead singer Jesse Hughes has shared a post on Instagram claiming that he is suffering from a concussion. That’s after being hit by a car which meant the frontman couldn’t travel to Paris last Tuesday to commemorate the third anniversary of the terror attacks at the Bataclan venue.
Taking to Instagram, Hughes wrote a message in French to explain his absence to his French fans.
“Today is November 13 … on this day for the last three years, I have been with my brothers and sisters in Paris, France and I planned for this year to be no different. I bought my ticket and I was ready to leave. But I took a ride on my bike and I was hit from behind and thrown head first into the car in front of me. I do not want anything to interfere with my impending trip to Paris, So I played it as if I was not hurt …. a day later, on my way to San Diego to see Morrissey I fell into the effects of a concussion and had to go to the emergency room …
I was examined and diagnosed with a deep whiplash and said that I could not fly for five days …I should be there with you, I do not I should not be here right now … I made a big mistake! I should have boarded the plane because … I do not know where to be right now … I do not know where I’m supposed to be … except with you in Paris.
Hughes seemed to become more emotional
“I love you and I am bound to you by blood and I should be with you and it will be the biggest mistake I ever made … I do not know if I am right or wrong, but it feels like I let the wrong people beat me a bit … and I think I should be there with you and I made a very big mistake and I hope you can forgive me for not being there right now …
Hughes then wished that his French fans could give the President of France a hug for him,
“My absence is tearing me up I have never felt like that before. I am here and nobody understands me … are not like that !!! I need to be with you and I made a big mistake if someone has a chance and you see the mayor of Paris and the President of France do you want to give them a hug for me and inform them that I love them and that their leadership and her kindness and your demonstration of love so deeply influenced me and that I’m sorry for not being there, I’m so sorry my friends …. I think I’m writing this in French because I really do not know what to do. I do not know.”
