Ariana Grande has released her live version of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” for the Manchester victims
Following Sunday’s (June 4th) benefit concert in Manchester, Ariana Grande has released “Somewhere Over the Rainbow,” which she performed at the end of the concert.
The move comes after Grande officially re-released her track “One Last Time” as a charity single after it became an unofficial anthem for the survivors and victims of those who were affected by the tragedy that took place at her concert in Manchester last month. The singer is donating proceeds from the song to the We Love Manchester fund.
On Sunday, heaps of artists headed to Manchester to pay tribute to Manchester, including the likes of Katy Perry, Justin Bieber, Niall Horan, Take That, Robbie Williams, and Miley Cyrus, who performed a duet with Grande.
