A fortnight after the horrific bombing which claimed 22 lives at her Manchester show, Ariana Grande will return to the British city for a benefit show.
Grande will be performing at the Old Trafford cricket ground on Sunday June 4, with all proceeds going to the We Love Manchester Emergency Fund, which has been set up by the city and British Red Cross to assist victims and their families. For the One Love Manchester show, Grande will be joined by some serious star power, with Justin Bieber, Coldplay, Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, Pharrell Williams and Take That also set to jump onstage.
“We will not quit or operate in fear. We won’t let this divide us. We won’t let hate win. Our response to this violence must be to come closer together, to help each other, to love more, to sing louder and to live more kindly and generously than we did before,” she said.
Grande’s Dangerous Woman tour, which was slated to arrive in Australia later this year, has been postponed. You can read her full statement below, and prepare for some special moments come Sunday:
