Just days after a deadly bombing at her concert in Manchester that left 23 people dead, singer Ariana Grande announced that she’s returning to the city in the near future to stage a benefit concert.

Ariana Grande announced in a post on Twitter that she is putting together a concert to help to raise money for the Manchester, UK bombing victims and their families.
“I want to thank my fellow musicians and friends for reaching out to be part of our expression of love for Manchester,” she said in the lengthy social media post. “I will have details to share with you as soon as everything is confirmed.”
Grande, who was fortunately not injured in the bombing, suspended her tour and returned to the U.S. following the attack, stating at the time that she was “broken.” Since then, she appears to have rallied and is calling for her fans not to be intimidated by the terror attack.
“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 wrote.
“We will continue to honor the ones we lost, their loved ones, my fans, and all affected by this tragedy. “They will be on my mind and in my heart everyday and I will think of them with everything I do for the rest of my life.” – via CelebrityAccess
