Following Saturday night's terror attack in London, many questioned whether Ariana Grande's tribute concert, One Love Manchester, would still go ahead as planned. According to the Manchester Evening News, "the security at tonight's event will be even tighter than originally planned," but it will still go ahead.

Grande's manager, Scooter Braun, released a statement saying, "After the events last night in London, and those in Manchester just two weeks ago, we feel a sense of responsibility to honor those lost, injured, and affected."

He continued, "Today's One Love Manchester benefit concert will not only continue, but will do so with greater purpose."

With stars including Miley Cyrus and Katy Perry turning out to perform at the event, One Love Manchester is sure to be both memorable, and important. In honor of all of the fans who lost their lives at Grande's Manchester concert on May 22, One Love Manchester plans to raise funds in support of victims' families, and everyone injured during the terrorist attack.
