This week, Ariana Grande released the live version of her tune “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” to benefit charity — but her generosity isn’t stopping there.
RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned that the 24-year-old singer is writing an original song to honor the 22 victims who were killed by a suicide terrorist bomber at her May 22 concert in Manchester, U.K.
“In addition to resuming her world tour, Ariana is currently working on a new song about the attack and the aftermath,” a source close to Grande said. “She is writing it herself with the help of several big producers and is planning on releasing the song later this month.”
