Music

The 'Side to Side' singer has decided to cancel some of her shows until next month following the deadly explosion at her Manchester concert.

AceShowbiz - Ariana Grande has officially postponed her tour in some European cities following terrorist attack at her Manchester gig. A statement announcing the decision has been issued by Ariana's label Republic Records. "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," so it reads.

The promoter adds, "The London O2 shows this week have been canceled as well as all shows thru June 5 in Switzerland. 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. Our way of life has once again been threatened but we will overcome this together. Thank you."

The canceled shows include Ariana's performances in London (May 25-26), Belgium (May 28), Germany (June 3) and Switzerland (June 5). According to Live Nation's statement, refunds "will be granted to all ticketholders at the point of purchase for [the seven] canceled shows."

Ariana is expected to resume her tour on June 7 in Paris, followed by a show in Lyon, France on June 9. She is scheduled to wrap her European tour on June 17 in Turin, Italy before heading to South America, Asia, Australia and New Zealand.

The decision to suspend the tour is understandable, as Ariana was reportedly "inconsolable" and "in hysterics" after the bombing which killed 22 people and injured more than 50 others. A source even claimed that she was "in no condition to perform." She admitted that she was "broken" on Twitter, writing, "Broken. From the bottom of my heart, I am so so sorry. I don't have words."
