On Thursday, 19 October, the organisers of the much-anticipated MTV Europe Music Awards 2023 (EMAs) announced that the ceremony had been cancelled.
EMAs no longer taking place
In a statement, the organisation revealed that it is due to the Israel-Gaza crisis that is currently taking place.
“As we watch the devastating events in Israel and Gaza continue to unfold, this does not feel like a moment for a global celebration. With thousands of lives already lost, it is a moment of mourning.”
The awards ceremony was slated to take place in Paris at the Nord Villepinte on 5 November. Some of the nominees included singer Bad Bunny, BTS, Taylor Swift and Olivia Rodrigo, just to mention a few.
Paris last hosted the EMA in 1995
Each year, the ceremony is held in a different city. This year, Paris was to host the ceremony, however, due to the war, the ceremony has been canned.
The event organisers continued in the statement they look forward to the next MTV Europe Music Awards in 2024
“We look forward to hosting the MTV EMAs again in November 2024.”
