A FUNDRAISING page has been set up for Nick Alexander's family.

Established by Miguel Benavides, based in California, he wrote: "My initial goal for this find was to benefit my friend in the most direct way that was calling to me. I personally want to help his family.

"Two things happened: we reached a significant amount quickly, and our extended tour family pointed out a basic rule of the road: we take care of our own, even the ones we don’t personally know. Taking this to heart, we are converting this fund to taking care of more than just Nick."

He added: "Today or tonight raise a glass to the memory of Nick Alexander, a guy doing a simple job of touring with a band and selling t-shirts going new places and making new friends. Last night, he ended his journey in a small theatre in Paris along with many others whose lives were cut short by hate, by misguided religion, by ignorance.

"Here is to you my friend may you and the others from this tragic event find peace."
