Paris attacks 2015: Hollywood modifies plans after tragedy

Following the Friday the 13th multiple terrorist attacks that commenced in Paris, France last week, a number of musical and film events have been moved and/or cancelled to ensure the safety of the public and everyone involved.

TIME reports that Grammy Award winning alternative rock band Foo Fighters have cancelled the rest of their European tour, including stops in Turin, Paris, Lyon in France, and their Barcelona stint on November 19. The group took to Facebook to announce the news.

"It is with profound sadness and heartfelt concern for everyone in Paris that we have been forced to announce the cancellation of the rest of our tour," the band wrote on their official Facebook page. "In light of this senseless violence, the closing of borders, and international mourning, we can’t continue right now. There is no other way to say it. This is crazy and it sucks. Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone who was hurt or who lost a loved one."

BBC also reports that Irish rock band U2 also cancelled their live HBO show and instead chose to spend the evening paying their respects to those who lost their lives at the Bataclan.

"It's very upsetting. These are our people," U2 frontman Bono said. "This is the first direct hit on music that we've had in this so-called war on terror, or whatever it's called."

On Saturday, NBC's Saturday Night Live opened with Cecily Strong addressing the tragic event in English and French, saying, "Paris is the city of light, and here in New York City we know that light will never go out."

The Wrap reports that the Paris premieres of Steven Spielberg‘s "Bridge of Spies" and "Cold War", and Natalie Portman's "Jane Got a Gun" were both canceled in the wake of the tragedy. FOX said in a statement, "In light of the tragedy in Paris, we have canceled our scheduled film events."

Lionsgate sang the same tune when they announced that they would no longer hold interviews at The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2 premiere in light of the incidents. USA Today reports that according to the studio's statement, "We will proceed with the rest of the event as planned in honor of the incredible fans who have always supported our films with such passion."

Meanwhile, an emotional Madonna took the stage in Stockholm on Saturday to pay tribute to the people who lost their lives during the attacks on Friday, TODAY reports.

"It's been really hard, actually to get through the show because in many ways, I feel, I feel torn," the 57-year-old performer said, fighting back her tears. "Like, why am I up here dancing and having fun when people are crying over the loss of their loved ones?"

"However, that is exactly what these people want to do. They want to shut us up. They want to silence us. And we won't let them," she said, asking for a moment of silence before launching into "Like a Prayer."
