The Paris concert hall that was the site of last November's horrific terrorist attacks reopened on Saturday.

The Bataclan, where terrorists killed dozens during an Eagles of Death Metal show in 2015, hosted Sting as its reopening act.

Sting opened his show with a moment of silence for the 90 victims of last year's attack at the concert hall. Forty others also died in attacks at Parisian restaurants and the Stade de France.
