Ariana Grande Officially Postpones World Tour After Manchester Bombing

Ariana Grande has officially suspended her Dangerous Woman world tour following the fatal bombing at her Manchester gig this past week. 

In a statement given to Entertainment Weekly, the singer's management confirmed that at least the next seven dates of her current European run have been called off. 

"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," the statement reads.

"The London O2 shows this week have been canceled as well as all shows through 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."

Refunds will be granted to all ticketholders of the now-cancelled concerts.

The Manchester Arena bombing resulted in the death of 22 people and 59 more injuries. 

It is currently unknown if the scheduled dates after 5 June will continue as planned, nor is it clear if Grande's Australian tour in September will go ahead. 

Live Nation Australia told The Music today that they have no comment on the Australian run at this time, after saying earlier this week that any updates regarding the tour will be announced on their website or social media.

Meanwhile, TMZ have reported that Live Nation are offering ticket refunds for a number of gigs to UK punters who may be uneasy about attending after Prime Minister Theresa May said another attack may be imminent. 

It has been reported that Live Nation is also discussing offering ticket refunds for gigs in other countries.
