Ariana Grande writes emotional letter to Manchester attack victims, to hold benefit concert

Ariana Grande has confirmed she will return to Manchester to hold a concert to raise money for victims of the Arena bombing that claimed 22 lives and left 59 others wounded after a suicide bomber detonated a device at the end of her concert earlier this week.
Her Manchester gig was attacked by suicide bomber identified as Salman Abedi on Monday.

Heartbroken Ariana took to Twitter to say she will return to the city in the north of England adding that 'We won't let hate win'.

“My heart, prayers and deepest condolences are with the victims of the Manchester Attack and their loved ones.

“There is nothing I or anyone can do to take away the pain you are feeling or to make this better,” it continues.

“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 have been thinking of my fans, and of you all, non stop over the past week,” Ariana wrote in the emotional letter.

Grande said she was inspired by the outpouring of compassion from her fans, calling it “the exact opposite of the heinous intentions it must take to pull off something as evil as what happened Monday.”

“YOU are the opposite,” she wrote.

Following the attack, the 23-year-old singer postponed her world tour and went home to Florida in tears.
