Ariana Grande Suspends World Tour After Manchester Attack

The singer is "incapable of performing for anyone” after the bombing

Ariana Grande has suspended her Dangerous Woman world tour after Monday night’s terror attack at her concert in Manchester.

According to TMZ the singer will not perform this Thursday at the O2 Arena in London and “has decided for now to put the entire European tour on hold.”


 The European leg of her tour included stops in England, Belgium, Switzerland, Poland and Germany.

It is now reported that 22 people were killed and 59 others were injured in the explosion at the concert on Monday night.

“We mourn the lives of children and loved ones taken by this cowardly act,” said Scooter Braun, Grande’s manager. “We ask all of you to hold the victims, their families, and all those affected in your hearts and prayers.”

TMZ also reports that the “Break Free” singer was “in hysterics” after the bombing. They quote a source saying “she’s incapable of performing for anyone” and her team are concerned about security at future concerts.


It is reported that Grande’s mother, Joan Grande, was about to go backstage to see her daughter when the explosion went off. She told the young concertgoers around her to come backstage with her where Grande’s security waited with them until they could safely leave the arena.


“We have been treating this as a terrorist incident,” said Greater Manchester Police Chief Constable Ian Hopkins. “Our priority is to establish whether he was acting alone or as part of a network.”


“The explosion coincided with the conclusion of a pop concert, which was attended by many young families and groups of children,” Prime Minister Theresa May of Britain told reporters in a televised statement. “This attack stands out for its appalling, sickening cowardice — deliberately targeting innocent, defenseless children and young people who should have been enjoying one of the most memorable nights of their lives.”
