A number of concerts have been postponed following the suicide bombing at an Ariana Grande gig at Manchester Arena.

At least 22 people were killed and up to 59 injured.

Police say a man, who died in the blast, detonated an explosive device in the foyer of the arena.

The O2 Arena in London says it's in contact with Ariana Grande's tour promoters about whether she'll perform on Thursday and Friday.

"We are shocked and saddened by the terrible tragedy in Manchester. Our thoughts and prayers are with those affected and their families.

"Ariana is due to perform at The O2 on Thursday and Friday and we will advise as soon as we can as to the status of those shows."
