This photo is NOT Ariana Grande in Manchester. It's from a filmset in 2015

A photo of Ariana Grande which some claimed was her sitting backstage and bloodied following the Manchester terror attack has been revealed to be fake.

The snap began circulating online following the horrific events at the arena where she had been performing – which left 22 people dead and 59 injured.
It appears to show the singer standing up clutching at her face which seems to be covered in blood – with the snap later being shared online as concerned fans began sharing it on their Instagram accounts and expressing concern for her welfare.

However it has since been revealed that the photo is two years old – and was taken nowhere near Manchester, but was snapped while the singer was on the set of the TV show Scream Queens.
Gossip site Just Jared originally ran the pic in 2015, explaining that Ariana was filming scenes for the show in New Orleans at the time – and had fake blood on her face for the shoot.
This was later backed up by another tweet which read: ‘Fake news! This is NOT Ariana Grande in Manchester. It’s from a filmset in 2015. Stay safe!’
Ariana has suspended her world tour in the wake of the attack, which occurred just after 10.30pm on Monday night as fans were leaving the Manchester Arena following her show.

According to TMZ, Ariana has now pulled out from performing in London this Thursday (25 May), and has put the entire European leg of her tour on hold including gigs in Poland, Germany and Switzerland.
She also expressed her heartbreak on Twitter, writing: ‘broken. From the bottom of my heart, I am so so sorry. I don’t have words.’
The message has been retweeted over 600,000 times, with fans flocking to reassure the singer that the dreadful events were not her fault.
As many as 21,000 were at the sold-out concert for Grande – with many fans being young children and teenagers.
Grande’s manager Scooter Braun issued a statement: ‘Tonight, our hearts are broken. Words cannot express our sorrow for the victims and families harmed in this senseless attack.
‘We mourn the lives of children and loved ones taken by this cowardly act. We are thankful for the selfless service tonight of Manchester’s first responders who rushed towards danger to help save lives. We ask all of you to hold the victims, their families, and all those affected in your hearts and prayers.’
