Madonna On Paris Concert Shootings: 'They Want To Silence Us And We Won't Let Them'

Madonna commented on Friday's attack at the Bataclan concert hall in Paris to her Stockholm concert audience on Saturday night.

"In many ways, I feel torn," she said in a lengthy statement. "Why am I up here dancing and having fun when people are crying over the loss of their loved ones?"

"However, that is exactly what these people want to do," she continued. "They want to shut us up. They want to silence us. And we won't let them."

The New York Times reports of new security measures immediately being implemented in the concert industry in the aftermath of the shootings.

Global concert tour producer Live Nation released the following statement:

"The safety and security of our shows, fans and venues continues to be our highest priority. Due to the recent events in Paris and in an abundance of caution we have implemented heightened security procedures globally. However, because of the sensitive nature of these protocols, we cannot elaborate further on the specific details."
