The awards ceremony won't be pushing through this year, citing a 'moment of mourning' due to 'the volatility of world events' amid the ongoing conflict in Israel and Gaza.
LONDON, United Kingdom – Next month’s MTV Europe Music Awards in Paris have been canceled, organizers said on Thursday, October 19, citing “the volatility of world events” amid the ongoing conflict in Israel and Gaza.
“Given the volatility of world events, we have decided not to move forward with the 2023 MTV EMAs out of an abundance of caution for the thousands of employees, crew members, artists, fans, and partners who travel from all corners of the world to bring the show to life,” a spokesperson said in a statement.
Israel has responded to the deadliest attack in its 75-year history by vowing to annihilate Hamas, putting the entire Gaza Strip’s 2.3 million people under a total siege, and bombarding the enclave in strikes that have killed thousands and made more than a million homeless. On Wednesday, eight French airports faced security alerts and several were evacuated for checks, the DGAC aviation authority said, and the Palace of Versailles closed again due to its third security scare in five days.
