The British pop star Dua Lipa is on a world tour, and on Sunday night she went on stage in a sold-out Oslo spectrum.
Before she played “Be The One”, she addressed the mass shooting in Oslo on Saturday night.
– I know there have been some difficult days all over the world, but especially in here Oslo. I’m sending lots of love to the LGBTQ community tonight.
– I send my deepest condolences to the families of those who lost their lives in the meaningless actions.
Here comes Dua Lipa with tribute from the stage:
–
– It feels painful
She says the whole thing is difficult and describes it as a tough pill to swallow when people just want to be themselves.
– They just want to love who they want, the artist says to the more than 10,000 spectators in attendance.
– The moment it is taken away from you is a real shame. It feels painful every time they have to fight for what we believe in.
– We must continue to do so. We must continue, she points out.
The artist also said that we must support each other.

– A safe place
– I am here to create a safe place for you where you can be who you want and love who you want. I’m here to make you bigger. I love you, she says
Two people were killed and 21 people injured in the shooting on Saturday night. After this, the police recommended that the Pride parade be canceled. Something the organizer listened to.
It got too consequences for Sunday’s concert. The organizer Live Nation has increased security.
We have increased staffing at doors, and a greater presence of police outside the arena, said press contact and marketing manager Elise Eriksen Løssfelt.
