In the statement the American singer wrote:
I’ll be returning to the incredibly brave city of Manchester to spend time with my fans and have a benefit concert in honour of and to raise money for the victims and their families.
I will have details to share with you as soon as everything is planned.
Just this past Monday a 22-year-old who drank, smoked weed, and rarely practised Islam, went into the foyer of the Manchester Arena as thousands of Ariana Grande fans were leaving.
There he blew himself up killing 22 people – most of them incredibly young.

Now she’s responded to terrorism in the finest way possible. By refusing to back down and to perform another gig, in the same city, all to raise money for those whose lives were changed and changed utterly by Monday night’s cowardly attack.
