Ariana Grande's manager Scooter Braun vows to 'fight on' after Manchester attack

Ariana Grande's manager has said he will honour the victims of the Manchester attack by "laughing, loving and living" as he vowed to "fight on".

Scooter Braun posted a series of tweets three days after the bomb attack that killed 22 people .

The celebrity manager, who also represents Justin Bieber, 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 ... for the first time in days.

"And I remembered...we r free. We are all different but we r free to enjoy eachother's company.

"I will honor those that r lost by living each day full. Full of fun, full of laughter, full of joy. I welcome the differences of my neighbor."

He also tweeted a defiant message to terrorists: "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.

"More people die each year from car crashes then terrorism. Yet I will get in my car. I will choose to live then to be afraid."

He added: "I will honor all of u by laughing loving and living. Living full for every wonderful innocent child whose life was taken too soon."

He also posted: "So if u think u scared us...if you think your cowardice act made us change how we live...sorry. All you did was make us appreciate every day.

"With extraordinary evil we must fight with extraordinary greatness. Fight on."

They are the first personal comments from Grande's manager since the attack.

Braun reunited with the US singer last year after a brief hiatus when her mother managed her career.

Following Monday night's attack, Braun announced Grande would be cancelling her UK shows "until we can further assess the situation and pay our proper respects to those lost".

Grande was due to play London's O2 on Thursday and Friday. She has also cancelled five other shows in Antwerp, Lodz, Frankfurt and Zurich.

Fans have been campaigning to promote her music after the attack, pushing Grande's 2015 single One Last Time to number one on UK iTunes.

The singer's fans have been downloading the song as a tribute to the victims.
