On 22 May 2017, a suicide bombing was carried out at Manchester Arena in Manchester, England, following a concert by Grande as part of her Dangerous Woman Tour. The attacker was identified as Salman Ramadan Abedi, a 22-year-old British Muslim who detonated a shrapnel-laden improvised explosive device at the exit of the arena after the event. Twenty-three adults and children, including Abedi, were killed and 116 were injured, some critically.
Grande posted on her official Twitter account: “broken. from the bottom of my heart, i am so so sorry. i don’t have words. [sic] “Grande subsequently suspended her tour and flew to her mother’s home in Boca Raton, Florida.[10][11] She later announced that she would host a benefit concert in Manchester for the victims of the attack.
