Niall Horan Texted Invite By Ariana Grande For Manchester Benefit Concert

(Radio.com) Former One Direction star Niall Horan recieved a text from Ariana Grande asking him to be a part of the One Love Manchester benefit concert and immediately agreed to join.

"It was a very sad thing to happen, but I think Ariana has been brilliant," Niall said to Mix 104.1's Gregg Daniels and Fast Freddy on Wedneday afternoon (May 31).

Grande's Manchester concert was rocked by a suicide bomber last week, leaving many injured and 22 dead. The pop star has announced she will return to the city on Sunday, June 4th for a benefit concert honoring victims and their families.

"She's been texting everyone and calling everyone and seeing about getting involved," Niall explained. "Straight away, she wanted to do something, and she's dead right. She wants to give back and make sure we raise enough money for these poor people. It's a terrible thing, but the least we can do is turn up." Read more here.
