Grande suspended her Dangerous Woman world tour and cancelled several European shows, including two London shows, after the bombing, which left 22 dead. The tour will restart June 7 in Paris.

“From the day I started putting the Dangerous Woman Tour together, I said that this show, more than anything else, was intended to be a safe space for my fans. A place for them to escape, to celebrate. To heal, to feel safe and to be themselves,” she wrote. “This will not change that.”

In attacking the concert, the bomber targeted an audience full of teenagers and ‘tweens — Grande fans who call themselves “Arianators.” Some wore kitten ears, like the star of the show.

“They will be on my mind and in my heart everyday and I will think of them with everything I do for the rest of my life,” Grande wrote.

Some bands — including Blondie, Kiss and Take That — have cancelled shows after the blast but representatives for several music acts — including Aerosmith, Celine Dion, Shawn Mendes, Guns N’ Roses and Phil Collins — said they will honour their European dates this summer.
