    7 Heart-Warming Moments To Watch From Ariana Grande's Emotional Manchester Benefit Gig
    POSTED

    Ariana Grande returned to the stage in Manchester today almost a fortnight after a terrorist attack claimed the lives of 22 of her fans and injured a further 50.

    One Love Manchester saw Grande recruit Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry, Liam Gallagher, Robbie Williams and plenty more to raise money for the families of the victims and also pay tribute.

    It was a beautiful and respectful gig with some really special moments. You can watch the full thing below but here are just a handful of moments we picked out.  

    Miley Cyrus & Ariana Grande's Crowded House Cover

    There's no song quite as affecting as Crowded House's Don't Dream It's Over and Miley and Ariana proved that with a moving, acoustic performance of the song. 

    Robbie Williams' Performance Of Angels

    At another show over the weekend, Williams performed Angels and was carried by the crowd when he couldn't finish it, overcome by emotion. A teary Williams got through the performance but the crowd sung louder than he ever could've in a pretty stunning moment.

    Grande's Recount Of A Conversation With One Of The Victims' Mothers

    Just before she performed Side To Side, Grande recounted a meeting with the mother of Olivia Campbell, one of the victims of the attack. She said Olivia's Mum told her, "Stop crying because Olivia wouldn't have wanted me to cry" and that "Olivia would've wanted to hear the hits". With that in mind, Grande changed the entire setlist and played "the hits".

    Ariana Grande's Tearful Performance Of One Last Time

    Grande's One Last Time has naturally become a tribute song to the victims of the attack. It's risen to number one on the iTunes charts in the UK and was always going to be one of the more emotional performances of the night. Backed by every performer from the concert, Grande delivered a spectacular performance. All sales from the single currently go to the We Love Manchester Emergency Fund.

    The Crowd Singing Manchester We Are Strong After The Concert

    After the concert finished, as the crowd excited they erupted in song once more, chanting Manchester We Are Strong. Robbie Williams had already led a singalong earlier in the night.

    Chris Martin Singing Oasis' Don't Look Back In Anger To Ariana

    One of the surpise performers of the night was Liam Gallagher and while Oasis didn't reunite, as first rumoured, Martindelivered a stirring cover of Don't Look Back In Anger. Martin brings Grande onto the stage and says he wants to perform for her for being so "strong" and then the crowd sings the song louder than any other. Incredible.

    The Security Guards Dancing To Roar

    This part wasn't televised but it was caught by punters who were there. The good vibes were so strong that even security got in on it while Katy Perry was performing Roar.

    Ariana Teaming With A School Choir For My Everything

    For her performance of My Everything, Grande teamed with Parrs Wood High School Choir. One kid, 12 year-old Natasha Seth, was so overcome by emotion that she broke down in tears as Grande consoled her.
