On the 2015 American Music Awards, Celine Dion performed a special rendition of Edith Piaf’s “Hymne à L’Amour” in French as tribute to those affected by the recent attacks in Paris.
Jared Leto provided a touching introduction, reminiscing about the Batclan in Paris, where many lives were lost due to the attacks. The actor/musician performed at the beautiful venue with his band, Thirty Seconds to Mars. He also knew one of the victims of the attack.
Jared recited a statement from a man who lost his wife, but refuses to hate the terrorists, and reminded the audience that Steve Jobs was the son of a Syrian immigrant, and that Barack Obama’s father was Kenyan. He notes that many of us aren’t that far off the boat. Many in the AMAs audience were crying.
