The 2015 American Music Awards have proven to be a curious thing.

“Earlier this year my band 30 Seconds To Mars was wrapping up a tour in Europe, and we were looking for an excuse to stop off in one of our favourite cities in the world, Paris.
We decided to play a little impromptu show at a classic venue called the Bataclan. It was beautiful, peaceful, and unforgettable.
What a difference a day makes.”
Leto moved on to describe his former colleagues present during the attacks: Steve Toth and Matt McJunkins, who survived; Thomas Ayad, who did not.
“Tonight, we honour the victims of the unimaginable violence that has taken place this year in Paris, and around the world. France matters. Russia matters. Syria matters. Mali matters, the Middle East matters, the United States matters, the entire world matters, and peace is possible.”
Pretty legit, for what could have been a total fluff-fest.
Jared Leto and Celine Dion just made the AMA’s more than a music awards show. It’s great that they could honor France in such a way
