[Ariana] didn’t want to continue her tour–she wasn’t sure she could ever sing those songs again–so Braun dealt with the tour cancellation insurance. He made sure the agents and promoters involved knew the shows weren’t happening. He arranged for counseling not just for Grande but for anyone on her staff. […] Initially, [Ariana] was hesitant [about doing a benefit show]. She said, ‘Scooter, I keep thinking about it and if I don’t do anything, these kids died in vain, and I’m not who I say I am. I don’t know what to do, but I know I need to do something.’ He didn’t make anything public until she’d had counseling and he was sure she could handle a return to the stage–in the same city where the attack happened. ‘Ariana is a tough Italian girl,’ Braun says. ‘And when she gets this idea in her mind that she’s going to go after something, she’s gung-ho.’
