Nick Alexander, who worked Eagles of Death Metal's merchandise table during the group's European tour, was among the 118 people killed in the terror attack at Paris' Bataclan, Alexander's family confirmed in a statement. He was 36.

   "It is with huge sorrow that we can confirm that our beloved Nick lost his life at the Bataclan last night. Nick was not just our brother, son and uncle; he was everyone's best friend - generous, funny and fiercely loyal," Alexander's family said.

   "Nick died doing the job he loved and we take great comfort in knowing how much he was cherished by his friends around the world. Thank you for your thoughts and respect for our family at this difficult time. Peace and light."

   In addition to serving as merch manager for Eagles of Death Metal, Alexander held a similar role on multiple tours with Sum 41, Panic! at the Disco and the Black Keys. "Just found out Nick Alexander was one of the people murdered last night in Paris," Fall Out Boy guitarist Joe Trohman tweeted. "Great guy. I'm horrified."
