This year's Eurovision Song Contest has been cancelled due to fears over the Coronavirus.

The competition, which was meant to be held in Rotterdam in May, was officially called off today after the European Broadcasting Union issued a statement.

In the statement it said it was "with deep regret" that they were cancelling the song contest but with the uncertainty in Europe and the restrictions currently in place it meant it would be impossible to hold the live event in The Netherlands.

It will be the first time in it's 64 year history that the contest does not go ahead.
