MTV has cancelled its Europe Music Awards ceremony, initially scheduled for November 5 in Paris, citing the ongoing “devastating events” in Israel and Gaza.
The organisers explained in a statement on Thursday that, given the loss of thousands of lives, it doesn’t seem appropriate for a global celebration.
The event’s cancellation comes as a moment of mourning. Performers like David Guetta, Jung Kook of BTS, and Thirty Seconds to Mars were set to participate.
