Yahoo News Ariana Grande's manager slams cowardly terror attack
Ariana Grande's manager Scooter Braun has laid into the terrorist behind the Manchester attack which saw 22 fans killed and around 112 injured.
Scooter posted a message addressing the events from both him and Ariana Grande in which he said: "We are with you, Manchester. We will not let evil win! Never!"
Scooter, who also represents Justin Bieber, Carly Rae Jepsen and viral star Psy, took to Twitter to express his remorse and reassure people the attack wouldn't scare them.
He wrote: "Tonight I got home and took my parents out to dinner. Korean bbq. We drank and ate and laughed with the tables next to us. I experienced joy.
"I experienced joy for the first time in days. And I remembered...we are free. We are all different but we are free to enjoy each other's company.
"I will honor those that are lost by living each day full. Full of fun, full of laughter, full of joy. I welcome the differences of my neighbour."
the wish of terrorism is to take away that feeling of freedom and joy. No. That is my answer. No. We cant allow it. Fear cannot rule the day

He continued: "The wish of terrorism is to take away that feeling of freedom and joy. No. That is my answer. No. We can't allow it. Fear cannot rule the day.
"More people die each year from car crashes than terrorism. Yet I will get in my car. I will choose to live then to be afraid. So...
"Manchester, I stand with you. Jakarta, I stand with you... children of Syria, I stand with you. We will honour you by not giving in to the darkness."
Manchester I stand with you. Jakarta I stand with u..children of Syria I stand with you. We will honor you by not giving in to the darkness

He added: "With extraordinary evil we must fight with extraordinary greatness. Fight on. Goodnight, world. Tomorrow I live full.
"I will honor all of you by laughing, loving and living. Living full for every wonderful innocent child whose life was taken too soon.
"Am I angry? Hell yes. But how will we respond? With everything you think you took from us... love and joy and life!"
Ariana Grande herself said that she was "broken" and had "no words" after the horrific attack, which has left the UK on critical alert since Wednesday.
The 'Side To Side' singer has since cancelled a string of her European tour dates in the wake of the bombing. It's currently unclear if her whole Dangerous Woman world tour will be affected.
Various celebrities have expressed their sympathies for those who lost their lives and who were affected by the attacks. Harry Styles, Little Mix and Miley Cyrus are just some of those who've dedicated performances to the tragedy.
Madonna and Kim Kardashian have both faced backlash for their own tributes to victims of the attacks, which saw the Queen of Pop dubbed "narcissistic".
