Ariana Grande Returning to Manchester for Charity Concert Featuring Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber & More.
Ariana Grande is returning
to Manchester, England, in honor of her fans.
It's only been a week since a bomb went off
at her show at the Manchester Arena, killing 22 people and leaving 59
injured, but the 23-year-old singer announced on social media on Tuesday
that she will be taking the stage at Emirates Old Trafford cricket
ground on June 4 for a charity show benefiting the victims and families
of those affected by the horrifying attack.
Titled "One Love Manchester," all net proceeds from the special concert
will go towards the "We Love Manchester Emergency Fund" set up by
Manchester City Council in partnership with the British Red Cross.
Grande will be joined by an
A-list lineup of bands and artists, including Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus,
Justin Bieber, Pharrell Williams, Coldplay, Niall Horan, Usher and Take
That.
Grande hinted that the benefit show was coming soon last week via Twitter in an emotional letter written for her fans.
"My heart, prayers and
deepest condolences are with the victims of the Manchester attack and
their loved ones," she wrote. "There is nothing I or anyone can do to
take away the pain you are feeling or to make this better. However, I
extend my hand and heart and everything I possibly can give to you and
yours, should you want or need my help in any way. The only thing we can
do now is choose how we let this affect us and how we live our lives
from here on out."
"I'll be returning to the incredibly brave city of Manchester to spend
time with my fans and to have a benefit concert in honor of and to raise
money for the victims and their families," she continued. "I want to
thank my fellow musicians and friends for reaching out to be a part of
our expression of love for Manchester."
