On Sunday, the "One Love Manchester" benefit concert raised $2.6 million to help victims of the attack on Ariana Grande's May 22 show.

Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, Coldplay, Black-Eyed Peas, and Liam Gallagher lent their talents to help the cause. But let's focus in on Manchester musically this morning.
