Ariana Grande has paid homage to the people that had sadly died in the 2017 Manchester bombings.
Ariana Grande Remembers The Victims Of The Manchester Bombings-‘I Am Thinking Of You’
The singer, who had been playing to that sell-out crowd at the time, had been forced to evacuate the area after reports that there was a bomb. With the crowd now in a panic and frenzy, noises emerged in what transpired to be a suspected bomb. As people were maimed and killed, the events have remained in Ariana’s mind.
In a post to her fans on Instagram, Ariana shared a picture of a love heart in the form of bees. The post was captioned by the following comments: “I know that this anniversary will never be an easy one. Please know that I am thinking of you today. Manchester, my heart is with you today and always.”
Just like the families that were left in mourning, Arian had to deal with issues of her own. She was very vocal about the anxiety and the post-traumatic stress she had felt in the aftermath of the incident. And given that she is a musician by trade, her confidence levels took an initial plummet. And that incident has never left Ariana the same.
In a previous interview with Radio One, she stated: “We see this s–t on the news, it affects you but not the same way…you’re thinking about it. It changes everything. It changes your life quite a bit.” But since that moment, she has had the opportunity to heal herself. Two years later, she would go on to make a return to the arena and headline an event for the LGBTQ community.
Naturally, it got very emotional. Nevertheless, the fans were there to make sure that Ariana was ok. And by all accounts, she gave a performance that they truly remembered. In a statement at the time, Ariana expressed how delighted she was to make a return.
She said: “I’m so happy to be with you, so thank you for having me. I had so much more to say, but I’m really very overwhelmed. So thank you.” The news was tragic, but Ariana will continue to remember those people throughout her music.
