Last night, May 22, 2017, the world was in shock again. Another malicious attack on
helpless citizens. A place for fans to come together and celebrate an artist’s music was
now gone. As of now, it is known an unidentified man detonated a homemade suicide
bomb at the end of an Ariana Grande concert at the Manchester Arena, according to
BBC. The death toll is currently at 22 confirmed and at least 59 or more have been
injured. In the wake of this, Ariana Grande has suspended her current tour indefinitely.
'"Broken," the singer tweeted. "From the bottom of my heart, i am so so sorry. i don't
have words." Grande was physically unharmed. The Manchester show was the first of
three in the UK. Ariana Grande's management put out an additional statement, saying
"words cannot express our sorrow for the victims and families harmed in this senseless
attack." This attack evoked response from countless entertainers and musicians.
Manchester natives, The 1975 put their concert on hault in Detroit, Michigan to speak
out about, Matty Healy stating “We're from Manchester, right? And where we used to
hang out – the actual place that we used to hang out – someone put a bomb in there
tonight, and then killed a bunch of kids that were going to a fucking show.” Statements
continue to pour out all across the music world, just a few include Issues, Harry Styles,
Cher, PVRIS, Neck Deep, All Time Low, 5 Seconds of Summer, Nicki Minaj, and so
many others. The music world is grieving the loss of the many lives and many twitter
users are speaking out. There are still many individuals missing. If you have any
information, contact Manchester officials.
