Rihanna paid tribute to the victims of the recent terror attack in Nice, France by dedicating a song to them at her concert in Lyon.
Before performing her hit song "Diamonds," she said that she wanted to dedicate the song "to the people of Nice who suffered. People who have been traumatized, victims and their families."
During the performance, the stage was lit in the colors of red, white and blue, remaining there for the entirety of the song. Rihanna also asked fans to light up their phones and lighters, illuminating the entire stadium.
Rihanna was actually in Nice at the time of the attack, which involved a box truck that plowed into a crowd celebrating Bastille Day. The tragic crash left 85 people dead and 202 others injured. Following the horrific act, the driver of the truck, Mohamed Lahouaiej-Bouhlel, was shot dead by police. The incident is now being treated as a terror attack.
