MANCHESTER, England (NEWS 1130) -Singer Ariana Grande has returned to the stage two weeks after a suicide bombing killed 22 people at her concert in Manchester.
Grande emerged onstage for the One Love Manchester concert at the city’s Old Trafford cricket ground on Sunday. She appeared teary-eyed and emotional as she performed her hits “Be Alright” and “Break Free.”
She told the audience, “Manchester, we’re gonna be all right.”
Before her performance, she and her dancers held hands in solidarity.
British singer Marcus Mumford held a moment of silence before performing at the concert. The leader of rock band Mumford & Sons sang “Timshel”, which includes the lyrics: “But you are not alone in this, and you are not alone in this, as brothers we will stand and we’ll hold your hand.”
The concert is raising money for victims of the attack that struck at Grande’s show on May 22. The show has been broadcast across the globe and proceeds are going to an emergency fund set up by the city of Manchester and the British Red Cross.
Other artists who’ve performed include Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber, Take That, Katy Perry and Coldplay.
