Grande returns to Manchester for Pride Festival after 2017 bombing

American singer Ariana Grande returned to Manchester recently to perform at the Pride Festival after the 2017 bombing at her concert.
The 26-year-old songstress headlined Manchester Pride Festival on Sunday, marking her first performance in the city in two years, reported People.
On May 22, 2017, a terrorist bombing killed 22 and injured more than 250 people at the singer’s city concert.
During her performance, Grande performed many of her hits including 7 Rings, One Last Time, Break Free, Side to Side, Be Alright and No Tears Left to Cry.
Before her show, Grande, who has a very special bond with the city, shared that all her fans in Manchester are “my heart in every way.”
“On our way to Manchester pride, love u so much. Can’t wait to give u all our love. You’re my heart in every way. see u soon,” she tweeted on Sunday.
Ahead of the show, Grande was called out by some Twitter users, who accused the singer of exploiting the LGBTQ community.
In 2018, after releasing the single No Tears Left to Cry, the first song of her album Sweetener, Grande admitted she was still finding her footing after the tragedy.
“May 22, 2017, will leave me speechless and filled with questions for the rest of my life,” she said in a letter to fans shared in November.
Grande went on to explain that the tragedy taught her resilience and also that one should not take life for granted. (ANI)
