Ariana Grande's Mom Walked Through Benefit Show With A Comforting Message

"I thought all of this was cute and exciting until he said: "'Ariana is sexy as hell man I see you hitting that, '" she wrote."

Grande performed throughout the show, singing her hits from "Side to Side" to "Break Free".

Usher explains why he missed One Love Manchester.

One of the most powerful moments was when the Parrs Wood High School Choir performed Grande's "My Everything" with the singer.

Grande thanked those in attendance.

She said: 'I had the pleasure of meeting Olivia's mummy a few days ago and I started to cry and gave her a big hug and she said "stop crying, because Olivia wouldn't have wanted you to cry".

"I didn't know she was going to sing it", Joan Grande told Variety.

A screen behind the performers encouraged donations throughout the show.

"Adam, if you're watching you're our hero tonight". "Would you agree that love always wins?" "To the families, we love you so much". "As unfortunately we saw yesterday, evil will test us, it will show its face again".

However, he changed course in his essay, adding, "the truth is that you have made me eat my cynical words in quite spectacular fashion".

Mrs Coleman said: 'I'm a bit nervous but there was no chance we weren't coming, especially in light of what happened last night.

Pharrell Williams praised the people of Manchester for their resilience.

"Manchester we're strong! We're strong", said Williams while performing.

A suicide bomb blast killed 22 people and injured dozens more in the foyer of the arena on Monday, May 22, just as Ariana's concert ended. The concert also came one day after an attack at London Bridge killed seven and injured 48.

Additional security measures were put in place for the concert, with police warning that everyone would be searched.

The 23-year-old finished with a emotional performance of Somewhere Over the Rainbow. She shared a picture of a heart for the second photo.

Thorpe's eight-year-old daughter, Lily, suffered a shrapnel wound in her back and is recovering from surgery.

The Guardian reported that Lily was released from the hospital in time to attend the benefit concert.

The concert was shown in 50 countries around the world and streamed via Facebook, YouTube and Twitter.
