Foo Fighters have cancelled the remainder of their tour after the ISIS terrorist attacks on Paris last night (13 November).

Terrorists struck a restaurant, the Stade De France and an Eagles Of Death Metal show at The Bataclan - where 120 concert-goers were killed. Later, ISIS took responsibility of the attacks, taking issue with the 'perversion' of the show

A state of emergency has been declared across France - with the likes of U2, Deftones and many more cancelling gigs through fears of safety

Now, Foo Fighters have taken to Facebook to pay tribute, and announce that they're pulling the entirety of their tour.

"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," say Foo Fighters. "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."

The world of music has come out to show solidarity with the people of Paris, while touching vigils are being held by The Bataclan.
