			Ariana Grande's life saved by her fans and music

Ariana Grande quotes “My fans and my music saved my life!” She admitted that 2018 was a very rough and hard year for her, because of the death of her ex-boyfriend and singer Mac Miller and the end of her engagement to Pete Davidson.

Grande told fans on Instagram that she is "still healing”. She is about to embark on her third tour. She also admitted she is feeling emotional about going out on the road. “I just want to say how grateful I am for my life, for the people in it. I can't really fathom all that has happened over the past few years. I don't even really know where I'm going with this post but I'm just grateful to be here still."

She admitted that it was making her emotional, saying she was going to "cry a lot" writing the post. "A few months ago I told my team I wasn't even in an okay enough place to tour or work at all," she added. “My friends, you guys and this music really saved my life and turned everything around.”

It was recently announced that Ariana will return to Manchester to headline the city's Pride in August, two years after a suicide bomber killed 22 people at her concert in the city. Some pride fans were complaining about the ticket prices – that they were raised to £71 from £30

Others expressed concerns that her appearance would attract people who did not support the LGBT movement. Ariana Grande responded to the backlash on Twitter. She said Pride events have been headlined by artists "of all sexual orientations and genders, including straight allies like Cher and Kylie Minogue". "I just want to put on a show that makes my LGBTQ fans feel special and celebrated and supported," she added. She also responded to complaints about ticket price increases, saying they were "out of her control".

Hopefully we will see a much happier and loved environment in Manchester during Ariana Grande’s Visit!
