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.”
She continued: “We will not quit or operate in fear. We won’t let this divide us. We won’t let hate win… 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.”
“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. We will continue to honour the ones we lost, their loved ones, my fans and all affected by this tragedy. They will be on my mind and in my heart everyday and I will think of them with everything I do for the rest of my life.”
The attack – which took place after Ariana’s Dangerous Woman concert at Manchester Arena on Monday 22 May – killed 22 people, seven of whom were children, and injured hundreds of others.

Ariana Grande has been announced to perform at a special concert alongside other prominent artists on December 6th at 9 PM EST.
Next month, just a few days shy of what would have been legendary crooner Frank Sinatra’s 100th birthday, the likes of Ariana Grande and Lady Gaga will gather to pay tribute at Sinatra 100: an All-Star Grammy Concert, according to PEOPLE. Carrie Underwood, Adam Levine, Celine Dion, John Legend and Alicia Keys are also slated to appear.
“I’ve been singing Frank Sinatra songs in my shows for many years,” Dion told the site. “His voice has been such an inspiration for me, and it will always be.”
“Nobody could juggle a drink, a conversation, and a perfect vocal as casually as Frank,” Levine added. “That’s why I love him.”
Sinatra, who was born in 1915, sold 150 million albums and won nine Grammys before his death in 1998, and was considered a pioneer of jazz and pop standards. “Let’s Fall in Love,” “The Way You Look Tonight” and “They Can’t Take That Away From Me” are some of his most memorable hits.
The concert will be taped on December 2nd at the Wynn Las Vegas’ Encore Theatre and air December 6th at 9 PM EST on CBS.
Last time Ariana performed at a GRAMMY concert, it was a tribute payed to the amazing Stevie Wonder.
