In addition to Sandra Kim and Lara Fabian also express other Belgian artists who ever participated in the Eurovision song contest their support. Tom Dice, Kate Ryan and Liliane Saint-Pierre let their emotions run free. Liliane wrote on facebook: “powerless in the face of so much hatred and senseless violence. Powerless in the face of the affected grief and the great loss of fellow human beings. However, I will not put off me and give in to anxiety, because then overcomes “lucifer”. My deepest sympathy to the victims and survivors. ‘
