Grande is canceling a string of European shows following the bombing at her Manchester concert Monday.
Ariana Grande is postponing several dates on her European tour following the bombing at her Manchester concert Monday.
« Due to the tragic events in Manchester, the Dangerous Woman tour with Ariana Grande has been suspended until we can further assess the situation and pay our respects to those lost, » Grande’s management told USA TODAY in a statement.
According to the statement, Grande’s European tour dates through June 5 will be canceled, including dates in London, Belgium, Poland, Germany and Switzerland. The tour will resume in Paris on June 7.
« We ask at this time that we all continue to support the city of Manchester and all those families affected by this cowardice and senseless act of violence, » reads the statement. « Our way of life has once again been threatened but we will overcome this together. Thank you. »
22 people were killed and scores more were wounded in the suicide bombing Monday at the 21,000-seat Manchester Arena where Grande was performing. The United Kingdom is on high alert following the attack, with British Prime Minister Theresa May raising the terror threat from « severe » to « critical, » warning another attack could be « imminent. »
« The spirit of Manchester – and the spirit of Britain – is far mightier than the sick plots of depraved terrorists, » May said at a vigil in Manchester on Tuesday. « That is why the terrorists will never win, and we will prevail. »
Grande apologized to victims in a statement following the bombing. « Broken, » the pop star tweeted. « From the bottom of my heart, i am so sorry. i don’t have words. »
