Sophie Ellis-Bextor Pays Tribute to Paris Attack Victims with 'Murder on the Dancefloor' Performance

The British pop star honored the 2015 Paris tragedy victims at the Bataclan, where 90 people were killed, before performing her hit song.

Sophie Ellis-Bextor paid tribute to the victims of the 2015 Paris terrorist attacks at the Bataclan concert hall before performing her hit 'Murder on the Dancefloor'.
The singer acknowledged the sensitivity of performing the song at the site of the tragedy, emphasizing that the song 'is not a song with any evil in its heart'.
Ellis-Bextor's performance aimed to bring joy and music onto the dancefloor, honoring the spirit of those who danced at the Bataclan.
The song has seen a resurgence in popularity, partly due to its feature in the film 'Saltburn', and has broken into the Billboard 100 in the US for the first time.
Despite the intention to pay tribute, some social media users criticized the choice to perform the song at the site of the terrorist attacks.
