Eagles of Death Metal return to finish Paris concert
The Eagles of Death Metal are returning to Paris to perform a tribute concert after last November's terrorist attack that left 130 people dead — 89 of whom died at the packed Bataclan theater where the band was performing. Survivors of the attack will be given free tickets to the show at the Olympia theater in Paris, not far from the Bataclan. The band has announced rescheduled dates for the European tour, which was postponed after the attack. "Hearing the stories of the survivors, the injured and those who have lost loved ones has been overwhelming. Not returning to finish our set was never an option," the band's front man, Jesse Hughes, said in statement.

Documentary examines the Black Panthers movement
For many Americans, the name “Black Panthers” conjures vivid images of young, stone-faced black men in berets and black leather coats and carrying rifles. But originally, the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense was formed by Huey Newton and Bobby Seale in Oakland in 1966 to monitor police violence in black communities, an issue with a direct link to today's Black Lives Matter movement. The history and legacy of the Panthers are the subject of a new documentary, The Black Panthers: Vanguard of the Revolution, which airs Tuesday (PBS, 9 p.m. ET).
