Making her first comment since an explosion detonated just
outside Manchester Arena at the end of her performance there,
Grande said on Twitter: "broken. from the bottom of my heart, i
am so so sorry. i don't have words."
Representatives for Grande have said that the 23-year-old pop
star was physically "okay" following the blast, which British
authorities say was being treated as a terrorist attack.
Two U.S. officials have told Reuters on condition of anonymity
that initial signs pointed to a suicide bomber as being
responsible for the bombing.
Grande was performing in Manchester during the European leg of a
concert tour to support her latest album, "Dangerous Woman."
She was scheduled to perform at London's O2 arena on Thursday
and then in Belgium, Poland and Germany in the coming weeks. It
was not immediately clear whether those concerts would go
forward following Monday's attack.
Grande, who starred in the Broadway musical "13" and on the
Nickelodeon TV series Victorious before releasing her solo debut
album, is credited with having an exceptionally broad vocal
range for a pop star.
She is best known for her singles "Problem," and "Break Free"
from her sophomore album, My Everything.
