Dua Lipa has now taken to Instagram to confirm that she stands alongside her fans, posting some photos from her concert with the caption, 'Last night I did it for my fans. A promised show. I stood by them, sang with them and danced with them. I will stand by you all for your love and beliefs and I am proud and grateful that you felt safe enough to show your pride at my show.
She continued, 'What you did takes a lot of bravery. I always want my music to bring strength, hope and unity. I was horrified by what happened and I send love to all my fans involved. I would love to come back for my fans when the time is right and hopefully see a room full of rainbows. I love you Shanghai xx'.
Many fans have now have taken to the comments section to support the singer saying, 'What happened in Shanghai sucks.
