Atomic Kitten have cancelled their appearance at the Harrods store in London, UK in light of the terrorist attacks that took place in the USA on Tuesday. The appearance would have been part of the launch of a teenage handheld computer to be launched called Cybiko. The band made the decision not to fly back to the UK yet in order to make room on flights to the UK for people who have been affected by the tragic events in the USA. Brian Dowling, the winner of this year's 'Big Brother' was due to join the Kittens at the launch event but instead spoke to them via a telephone link. Brian said: "We don't want to deprive people of seats on flights when we can do it another way, so Atomic Kitten won't be coming."
