Background
On 22 May 2017, a suicide bomb attack was carried out at Manchester Arena in Manchester, England, following a performance by American singer Ariana Grande as part of her Dangerous Woman Tour. 22 of the concert-goers and parents who were at the entrance waiting to pick up their children following the show were killed, and 1,017 were injured.
Within a few hours of the bombing, Grande herself posted on Twitter: "broken. from the bottom of my heart, i am so so sorry. i don't have words." The tweet briefly became the most-liked tweet in history. Grande subsequently suspended her tour and flew to her mother's home in Boca Raton, Florida. On 26 May, she announced that she would host a benefit concert in Manchester for the victims of the attack.
