Sunday’s benefit concert for the victims of the Manchester terrorist attacks, ‘One Love Manchester‘ saw some heart stirring performances from Ariana Grande, Coldplay, Justin Bieber, Pharrell, Katy Perry and many more. The concert, which was hosted at Emirates Old Trafford in Manchester, raised $2.6 million in donations, contributing to the $12.9 million already raised.
Check out some of the highlights from the concert here below:
Pharrell was joined by Miley Cyrus for a peppy rendition of his hit single ‘Happy‘, which launched the crowd into a massive sing along.
Black Eyed Peas‘ 15 year old hit ‘Where Is The Love‘ stood the test of time again, after the American group was joined on stage by Ariana Grande.
Justin Bieber performed the acoustic renditions of ‘Love Yourself‘ and ‘Cold Water‘ at the concert, before breaking down near the end of his performance.
Coldplay‘s Chris Martin and Jonny Buckland came together on stage to tribute Ariana Grande and her gesture with an acoustic cover of Oasis‘ iconic song ‘Don’t Look Back In Anger‘. The band’s rest of the set list comprised of ‘Fix You’, ‘Something Just Like This’, and ‘Viva La Vida‘, following which Martin joined Oasis‘ Liam Gallagher on stage.
However, the most emotional moment of the show came near the end where Ariana Grande, sang her track ‘One Last Time‘, while fighting back tears, as all the artists from the lineup stood behind her.
I want to thank you so much for coming together and being so loving and strong and unified. I love you guys so much, and I think that all the love and unity you’re displaying is the medicine the world needs right now.
