Musicians from all over the world have been paying tributes to the victims of the London terror attacks.
Five people died and 40 were injured in the attacks which took place outside Westminster yesterday.
During the Late Late Show, James Corden delivered a monologue in which he said: “There was a terror attack today in my hometown, the city of London in Westminster. While we’re filming this, it’s still unknown what the motives were. What we do know at this point is that people have lost their lives and many, many more have been injured.”
“I know a lot of people in England watch this show, as there’s a lot of people from Britain who work on this show, and of course, our thoughts go out to everyone who’s been affected by this. Watching the news today, I felt a really long, long way from home. And it’s funny when something like that happens in your hometown, you don’t have a feeling of being glad that you’re so far away. What you feel is that you wish you could be there with loved ones to stand alongside them.”
“London is a diverse and proud and brilliant city, and one thing is for sure: if this act of terrorism was supposed to divide the people of London, I know for a fact that all something like this does is bring them closer together as one. Tonight we send our heartfelt thoughts to everybody in Britain. Stay safe everybody, please.”
Tributes have came from musicians such as Lily Allen, Rou Reynolds of Enter Shikari, Frank Turner, Duran Duran and Katy Perry.
It was the attack of a fucking pathetic cowardly idiot. Think that has a better and more truthful ring to it
