Mariah Carey has just learned that one of her biggest fans was sadly among the 22 victims killed at pop singer, Ariana Grande’s, concert in Manchester, England.
Monday, May 22, 2017, was a sad day for London, and the rest of the world as we all watched the aftermath online and on TV that showed thousands of young people running for their lives out of the Manchester Arena. When a suicide bomber detonated his nail bomb at the end of Arana’s concert, he left 59 injured and 22 dead, including kids as young as eight years of age.
On Wednesday (5-25-17), it was confirmed that Mariah’s mega-fan, Martyn Heck, was unfortunately among those who didn’t make it. Martyn was a 29 year old internet sensation, who’s made appearances on television in the UK, where he’s from. Anyone who followed him online knew all about his love for Mariah Carey because he oftentimes posted memes and pics of her. His Twitter bio even read “My life peaked when I met Mariah Carey,” referring to the time he’d gotten to meet Mariah.
Mariah Carey’s Tribute To Fan:
In honor of Martyn’s memory, Mariah took to Instagram on Wednesday to post a photo of him smiling and wearing a T-shirt with her photo on it. Her caption read:
“Devastated to learn that one of the victims in Manchester was part of the #Lambily. RIP Martyn Hett. We will cherish your memory forever. His family and all the families affected are in my thoughts and prayers. MC.”
