Ariana Grande to become Manchester honorary citizen
Manchester officials say they are making U.S. pop singer Ariana Grande an
honorary citizen of the city because of her response to the deadly concert
attack in May.
According to Associated Press, City council leader Richard Leese proposed the move, describing the
23-year-old singer as "a young American woman for whom it would have been
understandable if she never wanted to see this place again."
He said instead, Grande "brought comfort to thousands and raised millions"
for an emergency fund when she returned to headline the One Love Manchester
benefit concert in June.
Other council officials in the northwest English city voted Wednesday to back
the proposal.
Bomber Salman Abedi killed 22 people on May 22 when he detonated a bomb at
the Manchester Arena at the end of a concert by Grande.
