We will continue to honor the ones we lost, their loved ones, my fans and all affected by this tragedy.

The bombing at Grande's concert became the most deadly terror attack on British soil since the 2005 London bombings. Police have said a man armed with explosives executed the attack on his own and died in the blast, but a 23-year-old man was arrested Tuesday in south Manchester in connection to the attack.
