Ariana set to release Somewhere Over the Rainbow as charity single
Following the success of Sunday night's One Love Manchester concert, Ariana Grande is set to release her cover of Somewhere Over the Rainbow as a charity single.
The 23-year-old singer closed the benefit gig with a spine-tingling version of the Judy Garland classic.
The decision comes after a fan campaign called for the song to be released in an effort to raise money for for the We Love Manchester Emergency Fund.
Since Saturday, proceeds from the sales of Ariana's song, One Last Time, have been donated to the same fund. It currently sits at number two in the UK charts but is expected to reach number one later this week.
According to The Sun, a source has revealed that “Ariana’s team are working out behind the scenes what is necessary for the song [Somewhere Over the Rainbow] to be released.”
“But everyone’s confident there won’t be anything stopping it getting out there and continuing to help those affected by the tragedy.”
With performances from Liam Gallagher, Coldplay, Justin Bieber anf Katy Perry (just to name a few), One Love Manchester proved to be a massive success and has so far raised £10 million for victims of the Manchester attack.
Meanwhile, it was revealed that Ariana and her crew got worker bee tattoos as a tribute to the city.
