Ariana Grande's European Tour Suspended, Picks Back Up in France on June 7
Following the tragic suicide bombing that took place in Manchester, England, on Wednesday, Ariana Grande has put her European tour on suspension.
The "Dangerous Woman" singer was scheduled to take London's O2 stage next on May 25 and 26. However, the incident that occurred after her Manchester concert led her to cancel the shows. The suspension will also affect her other shows scheduled in Antwerp, Lodz, Frankfurt and Zurich. Fans with tickets whose shows have been canceled can ask for a refund from their respective ticketsellers.
"Due to the tragic events in Manchester, the Dangerous Woman tour with Ariana Grande has been suspended until we can further assess the situation and pay our proper respects to those lost," a statement from LiveNation revealed (via Forbes). "The O2 shows this week have been cancelled as well as shows through June 5 in Switzerland. We ask that at this time we continue to support the city of Manchester and all those families affected by this cowardice and senseless act of violence."
