The Hollywood entertainment industry has stopped to pay respect for the victims of the terrorist attacks that killed 129 people in Paris, France on Nov. 13, Friday. Several music concerts, movie premieres, and TV shows have reportedly been cancelled following the terror attacks.
On Nov. 14, Saturday, rock band Foo Fighters cancelled their scheduled concert in Paris. The most harmful attack took place in Bataclan concert hall. However, Foo Fighters' Sonic Highways World Tour was planned in a different location.
The band, led by Dave Grohl, said in a statement (via E! Online): "It is with profound sadness and heartfelt concern for everyone in Paris that we have been forced to announce the cancellation of the rest of our tour."
"In light of this senseless violence, the closing of borders, and international mourning, we can't continue right now. There is no other way to say it. This is crazy and it sucks," the band added.
Foo Fighters as well as Coldplay (during their US concert) both showed support to the families of the victims by simply offering a prayer and silence for the losses in Paris attack.
On Nov. 15, Sunday, CBS TV shows "Supergirl" and "NCIS: Los Angeles" announced the change of episodes due to the scenes pertaining to terrorism and bombings of the latter show.
Meanwhile, entertainment company Lionsgate said in a statement that interviews would not be allowed at the premiere of "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2" as a way of "respect for the recent events with Paris," USA Today reported.
The statement continued: "We will proceed with the rest of the event as planned in honor of the incredible fans who have always supported our films with such passion." The movie franchise "Hunger Games" filmed its final parts in Paris.
Similarly, on Friday Irish rock band U2 cancelled their Paris concerts. The band cancelled two performances including the one to be taped for an HBO special.
Two other Hollywood films were also cancelled in the wake of the tragedy. One is the film by Steven Spielberg, "Bridge of Spies" and the other is Natalie Portman's "Jane Got a Gun."
