Jazz Festival and Rihanna Concert in Nice Canceled in Wake of Truck Attack

(NICE) — The president of the region that includes Nice has announced that the city’s jazz festival, due to open on Saturday, and a Rihanna concert planned for Friday evening, have both been canceled after the deadly truck attack.

Christian Estrosi said flags would be lowered across the city on Friday. He gave the latest death toll as 80 after a truck plowed into people celebrating Bastille Day at a fireworks display on the city’s famous Promenade des Anglais.
