Justin Bieber cries during Manchester benefit performance

The May 22 attack at Grande's Manchester concert killed 22 and wounded dozens more.

The 52-year-old responded to a tweet by Katy Perry, who had written: "God bless The Queen and her kind heart." after the Queen flew up to Manchester to visit injured children at Manchester's Children's Hospital.

During the performance, Grande talked about one of her fans who was murdered in the terror attack, 15-year-old Olivia Campbell-Hardy. Grande was widely praised for putting on the show in such a short amount of time after the fatal bombing that took 22 lives and injured many more.

With 10 performances, £2 million raised and some inspiring words, Grande impressed the world with her grace, love and talent.

"I'll say this too about @ArianaGrande – she has a cracking voice".

Another song that has taken on new significance for Mancunians in the past two weeks is Oasis's Don't Look Back In Anger.

Take That, who are from Manchester, followed with fun energy that the crowd danced to.

All net ticket proceeds of the show goes directly to the We Love Manchester Emergency Fund, which was set up by the Manchester City Council in partnership with the British Red Cross.

Grande's management answered doubts on Twitter, just hours before the concert. "And I think if we can be this team until we're old, continue to do things like this, let's not stop today", Cyrus told the interviewer.

Robbie even changed the lyrics of his hit track "Strong" and during the chorus he sang: "Manchester, we're strong".

She said of Saturday night's London terror attack: "It was the same sort of emotions the night it happened in Manchester".

Some of those attending Old Trafford admitted to feeling nervous in the wake of the third mass casualty terror attack in the United Kingdom within four months. You're an admirable young woman & this is a magnificent night. While adults in 2017 argue about building walls, banning travelers, jeopardizing worldwide relations, denying science, and peddling fake news, many Western kids born after the 1990s have spent most of their young lives schooled on virtues of equality, collaboration, exploration, acceptance, and kindness – principles often extolled in song lyrics and posted to social media by artists like Ariana Grande and her peers.
