The 28-year-old singer was due to play at Allianz stadium on Friday night, but has cancelled the performance following the tragedy. The Barbadian’s spokespeople have confirmed Rihanna was in Nice at the time of the attack but is safe. Fireworks spectators were killed when a man drove a white truck through the crowds, brutally murdering at least 80 people, including children – with dozens more hospitalised.
