LOS ANGELES, Calif. – Mariah Carey says she is cancelling a concert in Brussels over security concerns in the wake of Tuesday’s terrorist attacks.

A website selling tickets to Carey’s European tour stated the Sunday show in Brussels has been cancelled. A message posted to fans on Carey’s Twitter account stated that the show was being cancelled over security concerns.

The message said that Carey had been advised to cancel the show to protect the safety of her crew and fans.

No promise of a rescheduled show was included, but the tweets said Carey hoped to see her fans in Belgium soon.

Carey is scheduled to perform Saturday night in Luxembourg.
