Ariana Grande Cancels Surprise Brits Tribute Over Illness

Ariana Grande has pulled out of her planned tribute at tonight’s Brit Awards just hours before the show. The star was set to honour the victims of the Manchester terror attack, which rocked her concert last year.

Tribute After Manchester Tragedy

Back in May 2017, a suicide bomber killed 22 people at Ariana’s Manchester Arena gig. This heart-wrenching event left a lasting mark on the singer and her fans.

Liam Gallagher Steps In

With Ariana sidelined by illness, former Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher has been called in to perform the tribute instead. It’s a big moment for the Brit Awards lineup tonight, which also features Foo Fighters, Justin Timberlake, and the night’s biggest nominee, Dua Lipa, who leads with five nods.

Solidarity with the White Rose

Attendees are urged to wear a white rose pin as a show of support for the Time’s Up movement, adding a powerful message to the star-studded evening.
