Pop star Justin Bieber had tears in his eyes as he delivered an emotional speech at the One Love concert in Manchester on Sunday.

The Canadian singer performed the acoustic versions of Love yourself and Cold water to pay tribute to the victims of the terror attack at Ariana Grande's May 22 gig in the British city that claimed 22 lives, reported Us weekly.

"I'm not going to let go of hope. I'm not going to let go of love. I'm not going to let go of God… Put your hand up if you're not going to let go," Bieber, 23, told the crowd at the Old Trafford Stadium.

The "Purpose" hitmaker's voice choked with emotion as he continued, "God is good in the midst of the darkness, God is good in the midst of the evil, God is in the midst no matter what's happening in the world. God is in the midst and he loves you and he's here for you." 

Besides Bieber, the three hour-long concert, organised and headlined by Grande, also saw artistes such as Coldplay, Take That, Robbie Williams, Pharrell, Miley Cyrus, Niall Horan, The Black Eyed Peas, Imogen Heap, Katy Perry performing on their hits.

Grande also got emotional while recalling her meeting with the mother of 15-year-old victim, Olivia Campbell, who died in the terrorist attack at her concert last month.
