Rapper Mac Miller announced on Twitter he was canceling a pair of shows he had scheduled for Memorial Day Weekend in order to support his girlfriend, Ariana Grande.
Last Monday (May 22), 22 people were killed and several others were injured when a suicide bomber attacked concertgoers as Grande was wrapping up her set at England's Manchester Arena.
According to AllHipHop.com, Miller was supposed to perform at Washington's Sasquatch Festival and Minnesota's Soundset show on Saturday and Sunday, respectively. Miller tweeted, "Soundset and Sasquatch, I will not be performing this weekend. Thank you for understanding. I'll be back. Love always."
According to the tour schedule posted on Miller's Facebook page, his next performance will be June 23-25 in Paris for the Solidays Festival. That also kicks off a month-long string of European tour dates. At this time, there has been no indication from Mac Miller or his camp that there will be any changes to those dates.
On Tuesday, Grande returned to her home in Florida to be with her loved ones after the tragedy. By the end of the week, Grande let her fans know she would resume her Dangerous Woman Tour on June 7th in Paris. She will also return to Manchester for a benefit concert in honor of the victims and their families. Those details will be released once they are confirmed.
Other artists have also shown their support in the wake of the heinous attacks. Nicki Minaj told TMZ she will go ahead with her plans to tour Manchester next year. Eminem urged his fans on Twitter to help the victims and families by making a donation to the British Red Cross.
