Stars cover 'Don't Dream it's Over' at Manchester tribute

Ariana Grande has paid tribute to those affected by the Manchester terror attack at her benefit concert and included a Kiwi classic.

The 23-year-old singer teamed with fellow popstar Miley Cyrus to sing Crowded House's Don't Dream it's Over at her One Love Manchester concert on Monday, New Zealand time, and you can tune in here.

Cyrus said they had sung the song together before, but had not done so in a while.

They hugged and waved their arms to the crowd while belting out the lyrics: "Hey now, hey now. Don't dream it's over. Hey now, hey now, when the world comes in. They come, they come, to build a wall between us. We know they won't win.''

Grande is hosting the concert to raise money for those involved in the terrorist atrocity which killed 22 people and left more than 50 injured after her concert at Manchester Arena on May 22.

Grande thanked the crowd for coming out to support the event.

She said she had met with the mother of Olivia Campbell, 15, who was among those killed in the attack.

"As soon as I met her, I started crying.''

Grande joined American group Black Eyed Peas on stage at the concert, singing their hugely popular song: Where Is The Love?

The song was first released in 2003 - when Grande was only 10 years old.

She looked on the verge of tears as she passionately sang the poignant lyrics.

"People killin', people dying', children hurt and you hear them cryin'. Can you practice what you preach? Or would you turn the other cheek?

"Father, father, father help us, send some guidance from above. 'Cos people got me, got me questionin', where is the love?"

The star-studded lineup also included Robbie Williams, Take That, Justin Bieber, Coldplay, Marcus Mumford, Niall Horan, Katy Perry, Pharrell Williams, and Little Mix.

Bieber sang hit Love Yourself and became emotional as he addressed the crowd.

"Would you agree that love always win? What a better way to fight evil with evil, than to fight evil with good.

"God is good in the midst of the darkness."

He said he wanted to honour the people who had been lost - before correcting himself to refer to them as those "taken.''

"We honour you and we love you.''

All net profits donated to the We Love Manchester Emergency Fund.

The concert follows another terror attack in London on Sunday. It is unclear if or how recent events will impact the Manchester concert or the performances there.
