Harry Styles canceled his concert in Copenhagen in response to the gunfire attack in the city near the venue.
Harry Styles Cancels His Concert Following Copenhagen Gun Attack-‘I’m Heartbroken’
According to reports, a shooting had occurred at the Field Mall, Copenhagen. One person has already been confirmed as dead, while several others have been injured. The authorities have subsequently arrested one person, who they believed to be involved in it.
And given that Harry had been on course to perform at the Royal Arena, which just so happens to be situated near the place where the tragedy had occurred, the star was left with no alternative but to cancel his show.
And this event has naturally left him feeling distraught. In a post to his fans on Twitter, he said: “I’m heartbroken along with the people of Copenhagen. I adore this city. The people are so warm and full of love.
“I’m devastated for the victims, their families, and everyone hurting. I’m sorry we couldn’t be together. Much in the same way, there are also doubts about whether there will be other performances that need to be cancelled.
Other musicians including Pearl Jam, Queen and Adam Lambert are expected to perform at the venue in the coming weeks. But in light of everything that has happened, there is the obvious question of whether this is appropriate.
This is especially in light of the fact that the authorities have made it clear that they are still looking to get to the bottom of what happened. As a result, they urged anybody that could help to assist the police with the investigation to come forward.
In an official statement on behalf of Copenhagen Police, a representative said: “If you are in Copenhagen, contact your relatives and let them know, that you are ok. [We are] looking for witnesses, pictures and videos from the incident” to aid them in their investigation.”
The only thing left to do is let the authorities conduct an investigation and come to a conclusion. So there you have it folks. What did you think about this? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
