After the horrible terrorist attacks that shocked Europe and the whole universe once more, the beautiful city of Barcelona is now counting its wounds. The attacks have left behind 14 dead and more than 100 injured people (many of them seriously), citizens of 18 different countries, according to the Spanish authorities.

As a matter of course, the attacks have shaken the artistic world too. Many local or foreign Eurostars (almost all recent representatives of Spain and several former contestants) have already expressed their condolences to the families of the victims and their mental support to their families via their social media.

Broken after the tragic events, Måns made the following statements:

I am absolutely devastated by the events in Barcelona yesterday. Enough now. As many of you know, Barcelona is very special to me. I loved every second of my years there – the people and their mentality, the city and it's versatility, the beauty in its architecture, the mountains and the beaches. It's a friendly city. I felt that the first time I set foot there and still do every time I visit. The dark forces of this world try to take that away from city after city, but fail every time. They will fail in Barcelona too. I actually wrote a song about my love for the city a couple of years ago together with Robert Habolin and Gavin Jones. It never became more than a demo. But I felt I wanted to share it with you in this moment of grief. Link in bio. #barcelona

After the attacks, Måns released on Youtube a demo of a song that he had written for Barcelona, being nostalgic of the good memories that he had made there. The title of the song is Can I call you home.
