Rihanna was in the French seaside town for a concert as part of her anti world tour when the attack happened. She was billed to perform at the Allianz stadium tonight Friday July 15th but cancelled the show due to the attack.
A rep confirmed her safety saying: ‘She is safe. She is ok.’ The cancellation was also announced by the Mayor of Nice who revealed that the city’s jazz festival the following day has also been cancelled.
The star followed up the statement with a post on her Instagram page, writing: ‘Due to the tragic events in #Nice, my concert scheduled for tomorrow July 15 at Allianz Stadium will not be going ahead as planned. Our thoughts are with the victims and their families.’
