Ariana Grande has suspended the rest of her tour following Monday's terror attack in Manchester, her spokesman has said.

The US singer had just finished performing at the Manchester Arena when the suicide bomber struck, killing 22 people and injuring dozens more.

In a statement, her spokesman said: "Due to the tragic events in Manchester, the Dangerous Woman tour with Ariana Grande has been suspended until we can further assess the situation and pay our proper respects to those lost.

"Refunds will be granted to all ticket holders at the point of purchase for the following cancelled shows."

Among the cancelled shows are two concerts at London's O2 Arena on Thursday and Friday.

Ms Grande also had tour dates booked in Belgium, Poland, Germany and Switzerland over the coming weeks.

Hours after the attack, Ariana Grande tweeted that she was "broken from the bottom of my heart".
