Frankie Grande's journey towards sobriety was catalyzed by the One Love Manchester concert in 2017. Witnessing the aftermath of the bomb attack that targeted his sister's concert profoundly affected him. Following the event, Grande extended his stay in London, attempting to heal by attending a play.
