Coldplay, Katy Perry, and other celebs to join Ariana Grande for Manchester benefit concert

Coldplay, Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber, Pharrell Williams, Usher, Take That, and One Direction's Niall Horan will join Ariana Grande on Sunday as she returns to Manchester for a charity concert. The concert, which will take place at Old Trafford Cricket Ground in Manchester, will raise money for the victims and the families affected by the suicide bombing last week at a Manchester Arena concert that left 22 dead and dozens injured.

In a statement Friday announcing the concert, Grande said the "response to this violence must be to come closer together, to help each other, to love more, to sing louder, and to live more kindly and generously than we did before."
