Ariana Grande's manager has praised her as "courageous" and revealed how proud he is that she managed to perform at the One Love Manchester benefit gig less than two weeks after escaping the terror attack at the end of her concert at the Manchester Arena.

Taking to Twitter in the early hours of this morning, Scooter shared pictures of the gig and of himself with his famous clients, Ariana and Justin Bieber.

He had also gone down to St Ann's Square in the city centre to take in all the flowers, balloons, candles and poetry that grieving people had left as a tribute to the 22 people who were killed in the last two weeks ago.

"The power of Manchester. One love," he captioned the moving images.

He also shared footage of the One Love Manchester concert-goers leaving the venue late on Sunday night – and amazingly, they were still singing defiantly to Robbie Williams' song Strong, in which he'd changed to lyrics to: "Manchester you're strong/We're still singing our songs."

"This was the crowd as they left the show. Manchester is our hope. Witness the bravery! We are strong! We are still singing our songs!" Scooter tweeted.

He described Justin Bieber has having an "amazing heart" after the Canadian popstar teared up on stage during his solo set.

Appreciate the support and the amazing heart and words @justinbieber . Proud of who you are. #family ," Scooter wrote.

But he saved his most gushing words for Ariana, telling her: "Words can't describe how courageous @ArianaGrande has been these past few weeks. So proud of my friend."

Scooter had previously paid tribute to the victims of both the Manchester bombing and the London attacks on Sunday night at the One Love Manchester concert.

Taking to the stage before Ariana Grande performed, the star's manager made a heartfelt speech to the 60,000 crowd at Old Trafford.

Addressing those affected by both atrocities, he declared the benefit gig was "beautiful to see", before telling the nation that "hatred will never win".

Arriving on stage, he addressed the crowd, thanking them for their bravery and support in joining him and Ariana at the gig.

Addressing the terrible events that unfolded in the capital on Saturday night, he said: "Last night you were challenged as a nation you were challenged, and this is beautiful to see."

Talking to the crowd, he continued: "You said you are Manchester and we are here!"

With his voice cracking with emotion, he added: "Hatred will never win, they will never divide us. Manchester your bravery is our hope."

He finished: “Fear will never divide us because on this day we all stood with Manchester.”

The star-studded One Love Manchester benefit concert was organised by Ariana to raise money for those affected by the Manchester terror attack.
