Ariana Grande is unlikely to go ahead with her planned Australian tour dates after the after the terror attack which struck her Manchester concert left 22 dead on Monday.
The 23-year-old singer arrived in her hometown of Boca Raton, Florida, on Tuesday, after suspending the remainder of her European concert dates.
It’s now believed her Dangerous Woman tour, which was to pass through Australian and New Zealand in September, is likely to be cancelled.
Ariana’s Aussie tour was due to kick off on September 4 and 5, at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne.
She was next to appear in Sydney at the ICC Theatre on September 8 and 9, and at Brisbane’s Entertainment Centre on September 12.
The Dangerous Woman Tour was to be the Grammy nominated artist’s first Australian tour, however she spent time in the country in 2014 on a promotional visit.
The Problem singer has a total of 25 European dates on hold following the devastating attack.
The much-anticipated European tour, which kicked off in Stockholm on May 8, was set to wrap up on June 15 in Rome.
The pop star has already left the UK and could be seen in tears as she exited a private jet in Florida on Tuesday afternoon.
She was greeted by her boyfriend Mac Miller, who was waiting on the tarmac, and embraced the visibly distressed performer.
Ariana and her mother Joan made a quick and quiet departure from England early Tuesday morning with a little help from fellow pop star Taylor Swift, who lent the two women one of her private jets.
The pint sized star was said to be in ‘hysterics’ following the terror incident in which 22 people lost their lives and another 119 were injured.
Ariana has yet to speak publicly about the devastating attack, but did post a message on Twitter early Tuesday, writing: ‘broken. from the bottom of my heart, i am so sorry. i don’t have words.’
The Side to Side singer’s manager Scooter has issued a statement, reading: ‘Tonight, our hearts are broken. Words cannot express our sorrow for the victims and families harmed in this senseless attack.
We ask all of you to hold the victims, their families, and all those affected in your hearts and prayers.’
