Unforgotten events
According to James Allen, Manchester Arena general manager, he shared that the event which took place last May during Grande's concert will never be forgotten. However, such deadly attack will not stop the people of Manchester from coming together in order to enjoy the live music once again. Allen has also revealed that the said concert is also in line with the 20 years celebration which Manchester Arena has hosted several events for great musical talents.
Further, he also revealed that Manchester's legacy has to continue despite the ill-fated threat which took 22 lives four months ago.
Manchester charity fund
In line with the resilience that the people of Manchester have shown, it has been learned that the government of Manchester has also done their best in supporting the families who were affected by the deadly attack. According to Entertainment Tonight, they will be receiving funds from the Manchester Memorial Fund this week.
To recall, Grande was reported to have raised an amount of $23 million during her charity show and all proceeds were given to the fund. In line with the efforts shown by the young singer, Grande was hailed as one of the most important persons in England.
