Ariana Grande fans should expected the safest concert in history when she returns to sing in Manchester, England.
Four days after the Isis-claimed bombing that took at least 22 lives, the Florida-born singer announced that she’ll be back.
“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 wrote Friday.
Thank you, @ArianaGrande – we look forward to welcoming you back to #manchester. You are our family now ❤️???? https://t.co/97uqUAz32E

“I have been thinking of my fans, and of you all, nonstop over the past week. The way you have handled all this has been more inspiring and made me more proud than you’ll ever know. The compassion, kindness, love and strength and oneness you’ve shown one another this past week is the exact opposite of the heinous intentions it must take to pull off something as evil as what happened Monday.”
Date of the benefit concert was not immediately announced.
CNN noted that in wake of the suicvide attack, Grande’s “Arianators” rallied behind one another with messages of support across social media.
“In one online campaign, to which Grande shared a link, more than $2 million dollars has been raised so far for victims and their families,” CNN said.
Grande’s management team told USA Today that she was canceling shows through June 5 but resuming her Dangerous Woman Tour on June 7 in Paris.
