‘BROKEN’ ARIANA AID FOR VICTIMS
Singer ’will cover cost’ of funerals

A DISTRAUGHT Ariana Grande flew to the US in tears after the bomb at her gig left 22 dead.
The 23-year-old singer sank into the arms of boyfriend Mac Miller who was waiting to comfort her.
She was visibly weeping as she left the aircraft in Florida.
Ariana has reportedly offered to cover the funeral costs of the attack victims.
Internet site Ariana Updates, which is dedicated to the American star, claimed she has pledged to help the families of all 22 victims.
Pals fear she will “never be the same again” after the attack at the packed 21,000-capacity Manchester Arena on Monday night.
Dressed head-to-toe in black and carrying a purple unicorn onesie, she shared a long embrace and kiss with Miller before being whisked away in an SUV to a relative’s home.
Miller was also seen embracing Ariana’s mum Joan who helped lead terrified youngsters out of the concert hall when suicide bomber Salman Abedi struck moments after the singer finished her final song.
Cowardice
Ariana has yet to speak about the attack but posted on Twitter that she was “broken from the bottom of my heart”.
She had posed for photos with one of the victims – 18-year-old Georgina Callander – described as a “superfan”.
Ariana has halted her Dangerous Woman European tour which was set to finish on June 15 in Rome.
Her management said in a statement last night: “Due to the tragic events in Manchester, the Dangerous Woman tour with Ariana Grande has been suspended until we can further assess the situation and pay our proper respects to those lost.
“We ask at this time that we all continue to support the city of Manchester and all those families affected by this cowardice and senseless act of violence.”
A source close to Ariana said: “She is totally and utterly devastated. It’s unlikely she will ever be the same after this.”
