Mariah Carey Cancels Brussels Concert Due to Safety Concerns

Pop queen Mariah Carey announced yesterday that she is canceling an upcoming concert in Brussels due to safety concerns in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks the city suffered earlier this week.

The concert was set to take place on Easter Sunday, which also happens to be Mariah’s 46th birthday.

The “Hero” songstress issued the following statement on Twitter and Instagram:

“I love my fans in Brussels and at this time I am being advised to cancel my show for the safety of my fans, my band, crew and everyone involved with the tour.

“I hope to see you soon and send my prayers and eternal love, laughter and light to my Lambs.”

While some fans expressed anger and disappointment, most were supportive of her decision.

“You are letting the terrorists win!” wrote one fan via Twitter.

“You’re doing the right thing. Safety first. Love you,” tweeted another.

During a concert in London earlier this week, Adele dedicated an emotional performance of “Make You Feel My Love” to the terror victims in Brussels.

Audience members waved their phone lights in the air as they sang along with her.

“I don’t think I’ve ever actually been so moved in my life at one of my shows,” Adele said following the performance.

Mariah is currently in the midst of her Sweet Sweet Fantasy European Tour and will take the stage in Denmark on Tuesday.

Adele Dedicates Song to Brussels Terror Victims, Calls Attackers F**kers

Yesterday, the citizens of Brussels experienced a horrific act of terror that stunned the European Union and the world. 

Just across the pond in London was Adele, who, clearly affected by the atrocities, dedicated a performance at the O2 Arena to the terror victims with a heartfelt rendition of "Make You Feel My Love."

The crowd showed support by waving their phone lights in the air, and she asked the audience to sing along with her.

The raw emotion was palpable throughout the crowd, and it had a profound effect on the singer.

"I don"t think I"ve ever actually been so moved in my life at one of my shows," she said following the performance. "That was just so beautiful,"

"Thank you very much for doing that. I think they heard us," she added.

However, her emotions then switched to anger, and she took a moment to slam the terrorists in a mini-rant on stage.

"I"m hoping you"ve all come to be entertained by me," she said. "I"m here to entertain you, so we"re all united, so that makes us much better than them f–kers. You"re on, you f–kers." 

You gotta love this woman.

Not only does Adele have one of the most powerful singing voices on the planet, but she"s also earned a special place in our hearts for her down-to-earth persona, her humor and – especially evident of late – her compassion.

To wit, just last week she invited an autistic fan to sing a duet with her on stage during a concert in Manchester and gave everyone the feels.

And earlier this month she granted the wish of a chronically ill 12-year-old superfan by visiting her at her home in Belfast.

At a time when fear and despair is hitting us hard, it"s nice to know we can at least count on Adele to be the great uniter.
