MADONNA has canceled the last two stops of her latest tour in France after the country said it was banning events of more than 1,000 people to limit the spread of the coronavirus.

A statement posted onto the pop star’s website Monday says her March 10-11 shows in Paris would no longer take place.

“Following official notification from the Office of the Police this morning prohibiting all events with an audience attendance of over 1,000, Live Nation regrets to announce the final two Madame X performances previously re-scheduled to March 10 and 11 are forced to be canceled,” the statement read. “Tickets are refundable at point of purchase. We regret the disappointment to fans.”

France reported 1,126 cases as of Sunday, up 19 percent from the day before, the second-largest number of cases in Europe after Italy. So far, 19 people in France have died.

Several musicians have canceled or postponed concerts — most of them outside of the United States — because of the spreading virus, including Queen, Ciara, BTS, Khalid, Mariah Carey, Green Day and more. The South by Southwest festival in Austin, Texas, has been canceled and the Ultra electronic dance music festival in Miami has been postponed.

For most people, the new coronavirus causes only mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough. For some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness, including pneumonia.
