In a way, Europe is a very lucky place. For the third time in the course of the past 5 months, the members of Simple Plan have returned to the old continent – this time around for a short trip to Paris, France and will be back once again in a month to kick of the first part of their Taking One For The Team tour!
David and some of the crew members have already landed yesterday and had the whole Sunday for themselves to stroll around the streets of the wonderful city of Paris. Other members, such as Sebastien and Jeff only landed today and Chuck and Pierre are expected to land later in the evening.
And what exactly is the reasoning behind this unexpected trip to Paris, when they will be playing the city in just a few weeks again, you ask? Well, as you certainly recall, Simple Plan’s last trip to Paris during their promo trip in November had to be canceled due to the hideous terrorist atacks on Paris on November 13th. Simple Plan were supposed to play a show just two days later but due to safety reasons and out of respect to France’s mouring, they couldn’t perform at that time. After the attacks, SP expressed their desire to come back to Paris as soon as possible, “when the time was right” and as you can see – these guys are definitely the men of their word. We can assume that Simple Plan wanted to return to Paris separately to pay their respects to the city they feel so close to their heart.
On Wednesday, Simple Plan will be performing at Warner Music France at a special private showcase and later on are also expected to appear at the taping of the TV show Taratata. Keep checking back on SimplePlan.cz for more news about their trip to Paris.
