Foo Fighters decided to scrap their last remaining tour dates in Europe following the terrorist attacks that left more than a hundred people dead and many others injured. "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," the band said.

The Dave Grohl-fronted group continued in their statement posted on Facebook, "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. Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone who was hurt or who lost a loved one."

Editors' Pick

Foo Fighters still had several dates left, including one in Paris on Monday, as part of the promo tour for their latest album "Sonic Highways". They're not the only musicians who called off their concerts in the wake of the devastating incident. U2 axed their Saturday Paris gig which was supposed to be taped for an HBO special airing.
