While I understand the sentiment, I was really looking forward to this concert. Maybe they could have done a tribute performance instead? The healing power of music could have helped people cope.

I appreciate the gesture but wonder if cancelling events is the most effective response. Maybe donating concert proceeds to victim relief funds would have more direct impact?

The automatic refund is a classy touch. Many artists would just postpone. Arijit showing true leadership here. #Respect
