Rihanna took to Instagram to announce that her show last night in Nice had been cancelled due to Thursday’s terror attack.
“Our thoughts are with the victims and their families,” said the singer who'd been eating in a restaurant 20 minutes from Promenade des Anglais when the carnage took place.
Meanwhile, Islamic State has today claimed responsibility for the Nice killings through the Amaq news agency which is sympathetic to their cause.
"The person who carried out the operation in Nice, France, to run down people was one of the soldiers of Islamic State," they say. "He carried out the operation in response to calls to target nationals of states that are part of the coalition fighting Islamic State."
