It’s been less than a year since the attack at Ariana Grande‘s Manchester show that claimed the lives of 23 victims and injured 59 people.
During his appearance on Cal Fussman podcast, Ari’s manager Scooter Braun opened up about the singer’s reaction following the devastating attack.
“When she found out that fans of hers had died she was so sad,” he said.
“She cried for days, she felt everything – every face they announced, every name, she wore on her sleeve. Every bit of emotion because that’s who she is.”
He went on to recall how Ariana visited the families of the victims and the people that were injured at the Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital.
It was the “hardest two hours of either of our lives,” he remembers.
“After [meeting] the first family I had to help her, she was distraught and I was lost. It was beyond tough. But every single time we got down we reminded each other we get to go home.”
“Our loved ones are still going to be there. That mother is never coming home, that daughter is never coming home, that son is never coming home, that dad is never coming home.”
Despite the attack, Ariana made the decision to continue with her Dangerous Woman tour for her fans.
“We didn’t have the right to be so sad we couldn’t continue. The terrorist made a mistake … they picked the wrong goddamn show,” he said.
“If they thought we were going to roll over they don’t know Ariana and they don’t know me.”
