Justin Bieber could not help but turn emotional while performing before 50,000 courageous individuals who came to stand against terrorism following the Manchester attack that killed 22 civilians and has left 59 others injured. The explosion after Ariana Grande's "Dangerous Woman" was confirmed an act of terrorism carried out by a 23-year-old suicide bomber.
‘God is good is the midst of the evil'
The Canadian singer delivered a heartfelt message to the victims of the tragedy after singing the acoustic versions of "Love Yourself" and "Cold Water." In his speech, Bieber assured love with reign in the midst of hate and tragedy.
He also expressed his love to the families of the Manchester attack victims and told guaranteed them that they are not alone in this difficult times.
Before he left the stage, the "Never Say Never" singer thanked the crowd and requested them to chant the word "love" which they did. Bieber was among those who joined Ariana for the "One Love Manchester" concert that aims to raise funds for the victims of the unfortunate incident.
Other artists who performed at the "One Love Manchester" concert include Miley Cyrus, Niall Horan, Coldplay, Black Eyed Peas, Katy Perry, Robbie Williams, and more. Ariana's beau, Mac Miller, was also present and even took the stage with the pop singer to perform "The Way."
'It was so gorgeous'
Selena Gomez, among millions of people across the pond, watched the three-hour show and thought that the event was "beautiful" and "gorgeous." The "Hands To Myself" artist even commended her co-singers and Ariana for how she ended the night with her own rendition of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow."
The 24-year-old singer-actress made the hearts of Jelena fans flutter when she specifically mentioned her ex-boyfriend, Bieber, whom she said "did great" at the "One Love Manchester" concert.
Gomez and Bieber became an item in 2009. The teen couple officially made their relationship public at the Vanity Fair's Oscar Party in 2011.
The female singer was the first to open up about her relationship with the Canadian singer on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" in the same year. She even said Bieber is a "fantastic guy" until their relationship fell apart (well, sort of). The teen couple went through a rocky romance before they broke the hearts of Jelena shippers in 2014.
Gomez is currently in a happy relationship with The Weeknd, while Bieber was rumored to be dating Hailee Steinfeld.
