Ariana Grande Suspends Future Concert Performances Indefinitely Following Manchester Terror Attack
Following the horrific suicide bombing that took place at an Ariana Grande concert yesterday, the singer has suspended her Dangerous Woman tour indefinitely. Grande's tour will be rescheduled to later dates so that the singer will have time to emotionally decompress from the tragedy, TMZ reports. While further details surrounding the terror attack are still developing, for the 23-year-old singer the tragedy is said to have left her devastated and "in hysterics," a source has reported.
"Tonight, our hearts are broken. Words cannot express our sorrow for the victims and families harmed in this senseless attack," Grande's manager, Scott Samuel "Scooter" Braun, said in a statement. "We mourn the lives of children and loved ones taken by this cowardly act. We are thankful for the selfless service tonight of Manchester's first responders who rushed towards danger to help save lives. We ask all of you to hold the victims, their families, and all those affected in your hearts and prayers."
Grande was unharmed during the attack, which took place after the concert had wrapped and she had just exited the stage. As people were exiting the venue the bomb went off, killing over 20 people and injuring dozens more. Grande took to Twitter in the hours following the tragedy to share her thoughts with a simple Tweet.
"Broken," Grande shared in the Tweet. "From the bottom of my heart, I am so so sorry. I don't have words."
Manchester has been a trending topic across social media ever since the attack. Celebrities and fans alike have come together to grieve and condemn those responsible for this attack.
