Paris attacks: Tribute paid to rock journalist victim

Guillaume Barreau Decherf was a music journalist who died in the terrorist attacks in Paris. He went to cover the Eagles of Death Metal gig at the Bataclan concert hall.

His friend and colleague at the French rock paper 'Les Inrockuptibles', Jean Daniel Beauvallet, said Guillaume was a "lovely man" who was "always keen" to cover a music festival.

He said his colleague "wrote about Mot枚rhead like they were JS Bach".

In a statement, the Islamic State group said they targeted Paris because it's the "capital of obscenity". Jean-Daniel responded that he was "very proud to be obscene".
