Ariana Grande's half-brother, Frankie, speaks about the Manchester attack

Ariana Grande's older half-brother, Frankie Grande, has tweeted about the Manchester attack. He tweeted a Manchester attack charity link, and the following message to his 1.15 million followers:

"My prayers, thoughts, meditations & strength has been focussed on those families and victims affected by the horrific tragedy in Manchester.

"I echo my sisters sentiment & say we can't allow hate to propagate hate & fear to propogate fear.. [sic]

"...but rather come together & spread a message of love, unity & empowement & so I say, as I have before, shine bright, & evil comes 2drown out your light, 3throw shade over your beautiful soul, shine brighter [sic]

"I love you all so very much and thank you for your strength during this incredibly difficult time"

Frankie was due to perform in London's Bush Hall in Shepherd's Bush last night (May 27) but postponed it "out of respect for those affected by the disaster in Manchester and my need to be with family during this difficult time."

The Broadway (Mamma Mia! and Rock of Ages) star and former Celebrity Big Brother contestant's show would have been part of his 'Livin' La Vida Grande Live' tour.
