The Aftermath of the “One Love Manchester” Benefit Concert
The perfect conclusion for a beautiful cause.
Ariana Grande and her crew got a permanent tribute tattooed on their bodies dedicated to the city of Manchester and the victims after last month’s terror attack.
The singer was reportedly tattooed after performing Sunday at her One Love Manchester concert, which was organized to raise money for the families of the suicide bombing.
As for the tattoo, Grande and her Dangerous Woman tour members got a bee tattooed on them – a symbol of the city’s industrial heritage. The bee comes from, “The worker bee analogy came after the Industrial Revolution, during which Manchester’s textile mills in the 1800s were described as ‘hives of activity.'”
Following the pop singers tribute, people from all over Manchester have been lining up in front of tattoo parlors to get matching bee tattoos, to show support to the victims.
During the concert, Grande gave multiple emotional performances, including one with Parrs Wood High School choir, Miley Cyrus and their rendition of Crowded House’s Don’t Dream It’s Over, and ending the tribute concert with Somewhere Over the Rainbow.
The pop singer will reportedly be resuming her world tour later this week in Paris, after suspending it and cancelling her London shows, in result of the London attack.
Meanwhile all is good with the benefit concert, because with the help of some of Grande’s singer friends that helped perform they raised more then $2.5 million!
Way to go Ariana!
