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 mass gatherings in an attempt to prevent the virus spreading.
