Harry Styles and Miley Cyrus are just a few of the many musicians who paid tribute to those who fell victim to the deadly Manchester attack 2 weeks ago.
It was a deadly attack that shook the world to its core. Not
long after a horrific terrorist attack left 22 people dead and many more
injured at Manchester Arena, a number of celebrities showed their support for
the victims via social media. However, some musicians took it one step further
by dedicating songs and shows to the people of Manchester.
And here they are:
1. Miley Cyrus
2. Harry Styles
3. Celine Dion
4. U2
5. Shawn Mendes
6. Katy Perry
7. The 1975
Also, on May 30, Ariana Grande announces Manchester Benefit
Concert Lineup including Justin Bieber on June 4. That’s 2 days ago. I didn’t
make that article at the time. So luckily I’ll recap right now.
Celebs from all over the world reached out in support of the
Manchester victims, and now they’re coming together to spread the love in the
best way possible.
The news spread like wildfire the night following Ariana
Grande’s show in Manchester when 22 innocent lives were taken due to a horrific
terrorist bombing, and now the pop singer has taken matters into her own hands
to raise money for the victims and their families, as she announced last week
in an emotional post on social media that she would be holding a benefit
concert to raise money for the victims who attended her show and their
families.
It has just been announced that Ariana’s benefit concert
“One Love Manchester” will take place on Sunday, June 4th at Emirates Old
Trafford in Manchester, where Ariana will be performing, along with a full lineup
of many artists also in support of the cause, including Justin Bieber, Katy
Perry, Miley Cyrus, Pharrell Williams, Coldplay, Niall Horan, Take That and
Usher.
100% of the show’s net ticket proceeds will benefit the “We
Love Manchester Emergency Fund”, established by Manchester City Council and the
British Red Cross following the attacks, and tickets are set to go on sale this
Thursday, June 1st at 10 a.m. British standard time. Ariana is also offering
free tickets for fans who attended the Manchester show on May 22nd if they
register before this Wednesday at 4 p.m.
It was previously reported that the R&B star would be
attending the city “sooner than later”, according to Greater Manchester Police
Chief Ian Hopkins, who also revealed QUOTE, “When the idea of the concert came
up, the first reaction was we need to speak to the families of the victims and
see what they feel. It is fair to say that the majority of them are very much
in favour, although there are some that clearly aren’t and that is absolutely
understandable.”
She also promised fans she’d continue to spread love via
music in her heartfelt statement released four days after the bombing that read
QUOTE, “Music is meant to heal us, to bring us together, to make us happy. So
that is what it will continue to do for us.”
And on that note, she is also set to continue her Dangerous
Woman tour next month, because, as she also bravely stated, “We will not quit
or operate in fear. We won’t let this divide us. We won’t let hate win.” We
applaud Ariana Grande continuing to push for peace and love through her gift of
music, and as always, continue to pray for everyone affected in the attacks, so
right now I want to know all your thoughts on the lineup and if you plan on
attending, so get to talking right down here in the comments, and after that,
be sure to click right over here to check out Erin’s successful road to
recovery on It Got Real. However, Demi Lovato explains why she's not performing
at Manchester Benefit Concert. Bummer, poor her.
Anyway, Demi Lovato candidly reveals why she’s not on the
lineup for Ariana Grande’s Manchester Benefit Concert.
And it’s a pretty simple, yet awkward, explanation.
“One Love Manchester” is taking place Sunday June 4th in
Manchester, England to benefit the We Love Manchester Emergency Fund. Stars
featured in the lineup include Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, Niall
Horan, Pharrell, Usher, and more. But a major pop star supporter absent from
that list is Demi Lovato.
May 30th when the concert lineup was announced, a fan posted
a photo of the lineup on Instagram asking, “@ArianaGrande why will not
(@ddlovato) participate? She sent beautiful messages of support.”
Another pop star immediately saw the message and commented with her
honest explanation writing briefly QUOTE, “Cause I wasn’t asked”. When Demi Lovato
commented, the photo only had 8 likes and 3 comments so it was easy to notice
the pop star’s blunt message.
When the terrorist attacks occurred at Ariana Grande’s concert on
May 22nd Demi Lovato was quick to write on Twitter, “Tearing up imagining innocent
concert goers losing their lives.. praying for everyone and all #arianators.”
And over on Instagram Demi Lovato shared a photo of herself
hugging Ariana at an award show and wrote: “I’m so sorry you had to go through
this Ari.. This isn’t fair and nobody should have to go through this. My
thoughts and prayers are with you and the victims. I love you so so so much.”
It appears that she was one of the first celebrities to pour
out her prayers and love online, so being excluded from the benefit concert
consideration is a bit awkward.
On the brighter note, Ariana Grande's Manchester Benefit
Concert sells out in MINUTES. Holy cow, that’s a whole lot of gosh darn tickets
selling out in minutes. Anyway, music’s biggest stars are all coming together
for this weekend’s One Love Manchester benefit concert.
In the face of tragedy we’re seeing love prevail as victims and artists alike are joining forces.
Days after a terrorist attack killed 22 people and seriously
injured over 100 more at Ariana Grande’s Manchester Arena concert (as I
mentioned earlier), Ari has pulled herself together and invited her famous
friends to sing at a benefit concert this Sunday, June 4th. The One Love
Manchester show went on sale at 10am local time at $52 bucks a pop and by
10:06am it was sold out. Ticketmaster released a statement saying it "was
unsurprisingly met with remarkable demand for One Love Manchester tickets…
140,000 fans were on the website and our call center was buzzing. With over
450,000 searches on our site for One Love Manchester over the last 24 hours,
demand was always going to be extremely high." Don’t worry though guys.
People who were at the original show got free tickets to this one. Or at least
that’s the intention, but the company is having a hard time validating third
party ticket purchases. So some fans have had to pay twice. What’s worse, some
are reselling their tickets for 10x the price. Which just isn’t cool to profit
from a show that isn’t meant to profit anyone. The benefit concert is expected
to bring in around $2.6 million which will then be donated to the Red Cross'
Manchester Emergency Fund and benefit the victims and the families affected by
the suicide bombing. The pop/R&B star herself called every pop star in her
IPhone and asked them to join the roster for the show which now includes-
Justin Bieber, Black Eyed Peas, Coldplay, Miley Cyrus, Niall Horan, Little Mix,
Katy Perry, Take That, Usher, Robbie Williams and Pharrell Williams, with
perhaps a few surprise guests. Now then, off to Sunday’s recap.
OK, let’s talk about Sunday’s recap. So far, Peirs Morgan
apologizes to Ariana Grande, saying he “misjudged” her after Manchester attack
and praises her One Love Manchester benefit concert. Then, she rocks HUGE ring
and sparks Mac Miller engagement rumors. In addition, Miley Cyrus (I hate Miley
Cyrus) and Ariana Grande reunite for beautiful “Don’t Dream It’s Over” duet at
Manchester Benefit. Later, Katy Perry honors Manchester attack victims in this
unique way. Way to go, Katy Perry. Talk about why she paid her respects in more
ways than one last night. Also, Justin Bieber tears up during “Cold Water”
Manchester Benefit Concert tribute. Boo! Why is Justin Bieber paid tribute at
the One Love Manchester benefit concert. You know I don’t like Justin Bieber.
He is more annoying than Miley Cyrus. I wish Selena Gomez performs this concert
instead of this garbage. At least Selena Gomez did praise the Sunday's concert. Why is Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber’s tearful One
Love Manchester performance emotional? No. Anyway, Miley Cyrus and Justin
Bieber aside, this is be best moments from Ariana Grande’s One Love Manchester
Benefit Concert. It’s too bad Demi Lovato couldn’t make it. At least Katy Perry
did. So good for her. I hope Ariana Grande will have a bright future.
What do you think of the One Love Manchester Benefit
Concert? Sound off below!
