Joan Grande Speaks Out After Manchester Attack

Joan Grande, who is one of the heroes of the Manchester attack after rushing fans to safety following the bombing, is breaking her silence in a touching tribute to the victims and survivors.

Ariana‘s mom was traveling around the world with her and was sitting in the front row at the concert in Manchester last week. When the bomb exploded, she brought the fans near her to a backstage area to make sure they were safe.

“This past week I have spent in reflective thought, prayer & deep sorrow,” Joan tweeted on Memorial Day, Monday (May 29). “I join my daughter in extending my help & services to all those affected by the diabolical act of terror which occurred in Manchester!”

“My heart goes out to all the victims,” she continued. “Those who lost their lives, those injured, those recovering & all survivors of that night, along with the families & friends whose grief knows no bounds. I stand with you all in the face of evil & we stand together to never let it rule our lives!”

“Thank you to all those who helped in any way that night in Manchester,” Joan added. “I continually thank those who are & were in service protecting our freedoms every day all over the world! #MemorialDay”
