Watch: Madonna pays tribute to Paris victims at a concert
She thought canceling the show would let the terrorists win
Paris: An emotional Madonna asked the crowd to observe a moment of silence for the victims of the Paris attacks and their families during a concert in Stockholm.
Her eyes welling up and voice cracking, Madonna said she was considering cancelling Saturday night's show "because in many ways I feel torn. Why am I up here dancing and having fun when people are crying over the loss of their loved ones?" But then, she said, she thought canceling the show would let the terrorists win.
"Why should I allow them to stop me and to stop us from enjoying freedom? Only love will change the world," Madonna said, before asking the crowd in Tele 2 Arena to fall silent and say a prayer for the victims. She resumed the concert with her 1989 hit single "Like a Prayer."
