Ariana Grande pays tribute to victims of the Manchester Arena bombing two years on

Two years since the Manchester Arena bombing, Ariana Grande has paid tribute to the victims of the tragedy.

Shortly after Grande’s concert at the Manchester Arena on May 2017, a suicide bomber detonated a device killing 22 people and injuring over 100 others.

The singer has not officially spoken on the tragedy’s second anniversary, instead posting a singular bee emoji on her Instagram stories.

The Mancunian emblem of a bee has become a symbol of defiance and condemnation of the violence following the 2017 attack.

Ahead of the Sweetener world tour, Grande advised fans to purchase clear bags in order to help gig-goers pass strict security checks which will be in place at each concert venue.

It’s understood that a policy has been put in place to ensure tighter security measures the Manchester tragedy.

Last month, the singer shared her recent brain scan with fans, highlighting the stark realities of living with post-traumatic stress disorder.
