The music world is clearly very shaken by this turn of events, because — as Lorde tweeted — music shows should be safe places for us. The incident is horrific and tragic, and robs us of a sense of safety when expressing ourselves in public.

Our hearts go out to the city of Manchester and to every person affected — either directly or indirectly — by the attack. Squeezing our loved ones a little closer today
