This year's Eurovision Song Contest will no longer take place due to the coronavirus outbreak.
The event was due to take place at Rotterdam's 16,000 capacity Ahoy Arena, with the final on 16 May.
"We, like the millions of you around the world, are extremely saddened that it can not take place in May," said organisers in a statement.
The Dutch government had previously banned large public gatherings in an attempt to prevent the virus spreading.
"The health of artists, staff, fans and visitors, as well as the situation in the Netherlands, Europe and the world, is at the heart of this decision," said the Eurovision team.
The event's executive supervisor, Jon Ola Sand, added: "We are very proud of the Eurovision Song Contest, that for 64 years has united people all around Europe.
"We regret this situation very much, but I can promise you: the Eurovision Song Contest will come back stronger than ever."
He added that talks were already under way about staging the contest in Rotterdam next year.
It is not known whether this year's contestants, including British entrant James Newman, will be invited back.
Eurovision organisers told the BBC the issue would be discussed by its reference group and "a decision will be communicated later".
