Undeterred by the severe terror threat and the traumatic attack after her concert, Ariana Grande is all set to return to Manchester.
The 23-year-old-singer promised her fans that she will return to Manchester to have a benefit concert to raise money for the victims and their family.
The ‘Side to Side’ hit-maker took to her Twitter and posted an emotional letter that expressed deep sense of sorrow for those lost and the families who are mourning their loved ones following the “heinous” attack.
Her letter read, “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. 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.”

Adding, “I don’t want to go the rest of the year without being able to see and hold and uplift my fans. The same way they continue to uplift me. 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. I’ll be returning to the incredibly brave city of Manchester to spend time with my fans and to have a benefit concert in honour of and to raise money for the victims and their families.”
Along with her full statement vowing to return to Manchester, the singer also tweeted a JustGiving appeal for the victims, which has seen more than 1.7 million GBP donated.
