Despite her rep confirming that the singer is fine, fake photo claiming that Ariana Grande has been injured in the attack has gone viral on social media. Several other fake stories started spreading on social media after the deadly explosion occurred at the end of Ariana's concert in Manchester, United Kingdom.
The fake photo shows injured Ariana sitting backstage with her bags and clothes. In the photo, she appears to be bloodied and bruised after the attack. However, the singer is fine and the viral photo is not taken after the explosion. The photo is actually an old picture of Ariana that was taken in 2015 during the shooting of a video.

Several tweets suggested that the singer has retired from music, but do not fall for the tweets. After the attack, the singer has suspended her The Dangerous Woman Tour. She was expected to perform in London on Thursday, May 25.
