Fans of band Eagles of Death Metal have launched a campaign to get them to number one after Friday night’s shocking attacks in Paris.

Gunmen opened fire at the US rock band's concert at the Bataclan theatre, leaving at least 87 dead.

Fans are now campaigning for the band's cover of Duran Duran's 'Save A Prayer' to reach number one as a tribute to victims.

The Facebook group for the campaignstates: 'We thought it would be a nice gesture to put their brilliant version of 'Save A Prayer' to the UK No.1 spot as a show of support to the band and all of those affected.'

They continued: 'Just to clarify a couple of things here, we're fans of the band and want to show our support to them and those affected in Paris.

'At this point in time we don't really care who gets the royalties as that's not the point right now, we think it would be a great statement to make as a country.'
