VIDEO: Pianist plays beautiful Imagine cover at Parisian memorial
Just last night, the Bataclan concert hall in Paris was the site of one of several attacks around the French capital.
Dozens of innocent concert-goers died when gunmen stormed the venue where Californian rock band Eagles of Death Metal were playing to a crowd of 1,500 people.
This is a shocking attack on humanity. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and families. We stand with France tonight.
