It is perfectly understandable why Ariana Grande would choose to suspend the remainder of her Dangerous Woman Tour, after sharing in the trauma brought upon thousands who had come to see her perform in Manchester on Monday, May 22. The arena bombing has to some degree forever changed her life, as it has the families of the 22 attendees who lost their lives, and the scores of others who've been physically and psychologically wounded by the attack.
Nicki Minaj became one of the first celebrities to send Ariana condolences, when only hours after the tragedy she tweeted, "My heart hurts for my sister, Ariana & every family affected by this tragic event in the U.K. Innocent lives lost. I'm so sorry to hear this." On Tuesday the Young Money rapper reiterated her support for her "Side to Side" collaborator. But unlike such artists as Debbie Harry of Blondie, British pop band Take That, or Ariana herself, Nicki has no intention of halting her performances. In fact, she's looking forward to playing Manchester in the not so distant future, she told TMZ.
"We don't operate in fear," Nicki told a reporter for the celebrity news platform, who had asked whether she might cancel any shows. “Ariana’s my sister, I love her, and I love the people in the U.K. and I’m devastated by the news. It’s heartbreaking,” she then went on, before confirming that she intends to stop through the UK city in 2018. "They deserve it," she said.
