Ariana Grande will return to Manchester on Sunday to head a large charity concert, almost two weeks after the bombing, just after a performance by the American singer, in which 22 people died.

"The music is to comfort us, to unite us, to make us happy," said the artist, who will be accompanied in this charity concert for victims of guest artists such as Justin Bieber, Coldplay, Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus and Pharrell Williams.

The concert, explained the organizers, will serve to "honor and raise funds essential for the victims and families who were tragically affected by the attack."

"We Love Manchester Emergency Fund" is the name of the recital.

Those who attended the concert of the attack, can attend this free. Tickets will go on sale on Thursday.

The Emirates Old Trafford Cricket Ground, one of the country's most important cricket stadiums, will host the recital. The tiers of this enclosure can house some 26,000 people, to which must be added those that occupy the pitch.

"We will not leave, we will not live in fear, we will not allow this to divide us, we will not let hatred triumph," said the 23-year-old artist, "our response to violence should be to be more united.

Twenty-two people were killed, including seven under 18, and 116 wounded on Monday, May 22, when 22-year-old Salman Abedi kamikaze exploded a powerful bomb at one of the exits of the Manchester Arena pavilion at the end of Great show.

The attack was claimed by the Islamic State jihadist organization (EI).

- Rapid progress in research -

Life resumed its course in Manchester on Tuesday with the reopening of Victoria station and return to work after a holiday Monday, as the investigation of the bombing in the British city follows.

Adjacent to Manchester Arena, where Abedi blew himself up in the attack, the station reopened in the presence of Mayor Andy Burnham and Transport Minister Chris Grayling.

It was closed for a week to allow researchers to work.

Fourteen suspects remained in police custody on Tuesday, while the search for other accomplices in the preparation of the attack, claimed by the jihadist Islamic State (EI) organization, continues.

"The investigation is moving very fast," Manchester police commander Ian Hopkins told the BBC.

Hopkins confirmed that Abedi was signed by the police "for relatively minor offenses", especially robberies as a teenager in 2012, not for extremist positions.

"From the point of view of the police, that's all we have. I do not know what the intelligence services knew or did not know," he added.

The Mi5, domestic secret services, opened an investigation to clarify why they ignored the warnings about the danger of Abedi, which came three times.

Police issued a new image of Abedi on Monday with a large blue suitcase on wheels. This one, the police said, was not used to carry the bomb, but the author was seen hauling her through the city center on the day of the attack.

- "Do not Look Back In Anger"

Since the bombing, tributes have taken place in the city. Defying the rain, hundreds of people watched Monday for a minute of silence at precisely 22:31, when the bomb exploded.

The tribute was in the square Saint Ann, turned into the center of the duel, already practically covered with flowers, balloons, and senses messages to the victims and relatives.

The crowd chanted a song from Oasis, a city group, titled "Do not Look Back In Anger," which became the Manchester anthem since the bombing.

This Tuesday night, who was Oasis singer Liam Gallagher, will make his solo debut in Manchester in a recital whose collection will be donated to the victims of the attack.

"I want to try to help people," the 44-year-old singer told the Manchester Evening News.
