During their rehearsals a couple weeks ago, the members of Simple Plan let a reporter from Radio Canada<\/b> join them in their rehearsal space and talk to them about their new album, the changes that the music industry went through in the last decade and more. A very interesting part of the interview was when the reporter brought up the topic of the terrorist attack at the Bataclan venue in Paris, France<\/b> that took place last November. <\/p>\n
You may recall that Simple Plan were supposed to play in Paris just a couple days after the tragedy and were in fact supposed to be leaving the day after it happened, but canceled<\/a> their plans after the security situation in France didn’t allow them to safely get there. <\/p>\n But according to this new Radio-Canada interview, David actually initially planned to get to Paris earlier and to attend the Eagles Of Death Metal concert at Bataclan on the tragic night<\/b>. However, the members of SP had to attend the Simple Plan Foundation dinner with the auction winners<\/a> that night, so he could not leave to Paris earlier. “It’s strange… life didn’t want me to be there,”<\/i><\/b> said David (big thanks to Raph<\/i> for the translation).<\/p>\n Below, you can watch the full French interview that is available on Radio-Canada along with some other quotes from the band members that appeared in the accompanying article<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
