Queen guitarist Brian May has spoken about last night’s terror attack in Manchester, describing it as “the most terrible thing” while also speaking out against Britain’s foreign policy. Watch in the video above.
Last night (May 22) saw a terror attack at an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester leave 22 people dead and 59 wounded following an explosion in the foyer of the Manchester Arena venue. Fans were leaving the show when a bomb was detonated by a suicide bomber. The lone attacker died in the explosion from what is said to be a home-made bomb. The bomber has since been named and ISIS has claimed responsibility for the attack.
Following the news, May tweeted: “Sending love to Manchester. To all our friends there and all who are grieving for their families. Shocked and sad.” See that tweet below.
Speaking today (May 23) to NME, the classic rock legend said: “I woke up this morning and saw the news of Manchester and the first thing I did was tweet about it, just to express my grief and sympathy with the people. There were mums there that didn’t even know if there child was alive or dead. It’s the most terrible thing. To me, it’s almost impossible to imagine the kind of hatred that has to exist in someone if they would bomb children.”
