The Vamps playing tribute gig for team members killed in Paris attacks

British pop-rock band The Vamps recently lost two of their team members in the horrific Paris terror attacks.

The band have now announced plans to perform a special tribute show in memory of Thomas Ayed and Marie Mosser, who both worked for the band's parent record label, Universal. 

The 'Can We Dance' hitmakers will be performing at London's Great Halls on December 2, with all proceeds from the event benefitting the Teenage Cancer Trust. 

Frontman Brad Simpson told The Sun newspaper that it's important to celebrate the lives of Ayed and Mosser, and they wanted to put on a concert to 'bring people together':

"We'd just finished shooting our music video when our manager texted us and let us know. Our hearts dropped. We had lunch with Thomas two weeks ago. It's a tragedy. The gig will be a celebration in their memory. That's what music is about — bringing people together."
