The Premier League champions were due to show off their trophy in an open-top bus on Sunday, the day after they face Arsenal in the FA Cup final, but are now cancelling the event over security concerns in the wake of the Manchester Arena attack.
The club said in a statement that they feel it would be 'inappropriate' for the celebration to take place as they offered their 'heartfelt condolences' to those affected by Monday night's attack.
Chelsea's players will also wear black armbands in Saturday's FA Cup final and the club will make a donation to a fund supporting the victims.
