Heartbroken Ariana: I just want one okay day
ARIANA Grande has pleaded for ‘one okay day’ in a series of heartbreaking tweets about her ‘tough month’.
Earlier this month, the singer, 25, announced she would be taking “much needed time to heal and mend” following “events of the past couple of years”.
In May last year, suicide bomber Salman Abedi murdered 22 people at her concert at the Manchester Arena and earlier this month her former partner, the rapper Mac Miller, died from a suspected overdose aged 26.
Ariana tweeted: “ur angels in my life. it’s just been a tough month. i’m trying to get my work done and get back to normal and it’s hard and i’m human and tired. sorry i let u in or worried u. i shouldn’t have tweeted. i kno better.”
She added: “Can i pls have one okay day. just one. pls.” Grande followed up her tweets by thanking fans, writing: “ty for loving me sm i do not deserve it.”
Grande was set to appear at the Emmy Awards in Los Angeles with her Saturday Night Live comedian fiance Pete Davidson but pulled out following Miller’s death.
In a statement, a representative for the star said: “Given the events of the past couple of years, Ariana is going to take some much needed time to heal and mend.”
Earlier this year, in an interview with Vogue magazine, Grande discussed her battle with anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder following the Arena bombing.
She said: “It’s hard to talk about because so many people have suffered such severe, tremendous loss.
“But, yeah, it’s a real thing. I know those families and my fans, and everyone there experienced a tremendous amount of it as well.
“Time is the biggest thing. I feel like I shouldn’t even be talking about my own experience - like I shouldn’t even say anything.”
