Eagles of Death Metal drummer Julian Dorio has posted a lengthy statement via his Instagram page regarding the attacks at Le Batalcan in Paris on the night of the band’s show.

Dorio, who also co-founded The Whigs, says he is home safe and mentions several people who assisted him in escaping the venue that evening, most notably someone who put him in a cab as well as someone who lent him a phone to call his wife.

Eagles of Death Metal’s Jesse Hughes and Josh Homme will sit down with Vice this week for their first extended interview since the attacks. Watch a clip of the emotional recounting of that night here.
