The Above Ground event will benefit the Recording Academy’s Musicares Foundation. It will feature the all-star lineup covering two classic records: the Velvet Underground’s 1967 album, The Velvet Underground & Nico and Adam and the Ants’ 1980 record, Kings of the Wild Frontier.

“After losing too many friends to suicide and depression, and having suffered personally with a wide range of mental health issues, we want to raise awareness and funds for the treatment of mental health,” Morrison said in a video clip.

Navarro promised the all-star band will perform the two “iconic albums in their entirety – exactly as they were recorded and released on vinyl.” A Live Nation ticket pre-sale launches Thursday, February 22nd at 10 a.m. PST and concludes Friday, February 23rd at 10 p.m. PST. General public tickets go on sale Saturday, February 24th at 10 a.m. PST.

Morrison ends the video on a poignant note about mental health awareness, encouraging viewers to “spread the word that it’s OK to ask for help.”

Her fans and their families couldn’t hold back their excitement. “Tonight’s visit from Ariana Grande was amazing. Just the lift all the kids (and parents) needed!

Thorpe, who is recovering from surgery herself due to a deep wound in her leg, expanded on her adulation for Grande in an interview with CNN.

“Ariana brought everyone a sunflower and a teddy bear. It was unbelievable,” she said, adding, “She knelt by her and sat on her bed with her and told her ‘I’m so proud of you, you are so strong and doing really well’.”

One Love Manchester

“One Love Manchester” (the brain-child of Grande), was, not surprisingly, a massive hit.

Musicians from an array of genres (many of whom lent support to their colleague and the victims in the wake of the attack at Manchester Arena), joined Grande for the memorable event, which raised over $12 million for the the “We Love Manchester Emergency Fund.”

Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, Pharrell Williams and Coldplay were among the acts who took the stage throughout the night, but it was Grande’s rendition of “My Everything” with a local high school choir that had concert goers shedding tears.
