Ariana Grande and her manager Scooter Braun have sent their love and prayers to the the victims of the Manchester terror attack and those affected by the atrocity, saying: “We will not let evil win.”

A statement posted to Instagram by Scooter, 35, described the suicide bombing at the Manchester Arena as “beyond devastating” and said there were no words that could comfort the families of the 22 innocent people who died in the atrocity.

“The last 48 hours have been beyond devastating,” wrote Scooter.

“As a father I cannot express my sorrow and my rage at this cowardice act. These were children. They were attacked because of our way of life. Our love of freedom and each other.

“There are no words that will comfort.

“There is nothing that can be said to make 22 return to their families today. I am so so sorry for their loss. I am so sorry to all those affected.”
