Sum 41 have cancelled their Paris concert after an explosive device detonated outside the venue. The group were set to perform at the Les Etoiles venue as part of their No Personal Space tour.

The band took to Instagram to confirm the news and reassured fans that there had been no injuries within their team.

Taking to Instagram, the statement read: "During load-in for tonight's performance in Paris, an explosive device was detonated just outside of the venue door.

"Band, crew, the fans in line are all safe, and there were no injuries.

"Due to the intimate nature of our 'Personal Space' performances, we are unable to guarantee the safety of the fans in attendance."

They continued: "We are deeply saddened to announce that tonight's live show has been cancelled. More information to follow.

"For refunds please contact your local Live Nation ticket outlet. We are currently discussing our options to schedule a makeup show as soon as possible. Please stay tuned for updates in the coming weeks."

The cause of the explosion is not clear at the moment.

Fans took to Twitter to express their concerns following the announcement, with one saying: "Better safe than sorry. I was so looking forward to it, but this is the right decision. Stay safe!"

While a second added: "Glad everyone's safe."

A third tweeted: "Scary stuff. Stay safe please."

The Into Deep hitmakers are due to perform in London on January 20th, ahead of their gig in Amsterdam.

Sum 41 first burst onto the music scene in 1999 and followed on with their platinum-selling album, All Killer No Filler, in 2000.

This explosion will evoke memories of November 2015, which saw another Paris concert venue attacked by ISIS after a gunman stormed the Bataclan, which was hosting around 1,500 audience members during a sold-out show by rock band Eagles of Death Metal.

90 people died during the attack and many more were left injured.
