U2 nixes Paris concert in wake of deadly attacks
The rock band U2 has postponed its Saturday night concert in Paris in the light of the deadly attacks across the city on Friday night.
HBO had planned to televise the band’s performance. Instead, U2 says in a statement that it is resolved to go ahead with the concert “at an appropriate time.”
For television viewers, HBO said it would replace the planned show with the film “Jersey Boys.”
U2 members say they watched in shock and disbelief at the unfolding events, and were devastated by the loss of life at the concert held by Eagles of Death Metal.
U2 members say: “We hope and pray that all of our fans in Paris are safe.”
