Ariana Grande’s “One Love Manchester” benefit concert was a success, organizers said on Monday. The star-studded show raised $13 million (£10 million). According to the British Red Cross, £2.35 million (around $3 million) was raised during the three-hour concert alone. “One Love Manchester” included performances from Coldplay’s Chris Martin, Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, Justin Beiber, Robbie Williams and more. The benefit concert came less than two weeks after the tragic terror attack after Grande’s concert at Manchester Arena—22 people lost their lives and an additional 59 were injured.
