KISS's show at Manchester Arena has been cancelled in the wake of Monday night’s attack at the venue.

The band said that following the tragic events in Manchester and the temporary closure of the venue, the Tuesday 30th May show won’t be going ahead.

Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Eric Singer and Tommy Thayer said in a statement: “We are heartbroken by the atrocity committed against the innocent victims of Manchester. We sadly will not to be able to play Manchester Arena on the 30th May.

“We have always looked forward to these shows and our local fans, but in light of recent events a cancelled rock show seems of such little consequence.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with the families and friends of those affected and all the people of Manchester at this difficult time. We are with you and you are in our prayers.”

Ticket holders will be able to obtain a refund at the point of purchase.

KISS open their UK shows at Glasgow SSE Hydro tomorrow night (Saturday 27th May) before playing shows at Birmingham Barclaycard Arena (Sunday 28th May) and London O2 (Wednesday 31st May).
