Man. Just literally heard about #Paris (was filming earlier I wasn't aware) this is so heartbreaking man. This is beyond the "thoughts and prayers go to" post. Paris took us in from the cold and gave us a home. I've performed and chilled at #Bataclan more times than I can remember. The staff and people there....look I dunno what to say man....I'm at a lost for words....#WeNeedPeace. Praying that Paris heals. Praying the world can heal.

The New York Times reports that Live Nation is planning new security measures at venues in the aftermath of the attacks at Paris’s Bataclan concert hall. The company announced its plans in a statement. “The safety and security of our shows, fans and venues continues to be our highest priority. Due to the recent events in Paris and in an abundance of caution we have implemented heightened security procedures globally. However, because of the sensitive nature of these protocols, we cannot elaborate further on the specific details.”

A series of concerts scheduled to take place in France and Europe were cancelled over the weekend.
