Beyonce dedicates "Halo" to the families of the Orlando victims
Beyonce gave an emotional performance during her Tuesday night concert in Detroit, Michigan.
The 34-year-old singer -- who recently raised $82,000 to help the Flint, Michigan water crisis -- dedicated her hit ballad, "Halo," to the families of those slain in the mass shooting at Pulse, a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida. "This is a song about love," she told the audience. "This is to all the family members who lost family members in Florida."

Prior to her performance, Beyonce took to Instagram on Sunday and paid tribute to those slain in the shooting. "Condolences and prayers to Orlando," she captioned a pic of a floral peace sign.
On Monday, Lady Gaga broke down during her speech in remembrance of those who were killed in Orlando. "As we have now witnessed the largest mass shooting in American history, I can't help but feel that this level of hatred, like all prejudicial crimes, this is an attack on humanity itself," she said. "Tonight, I gather humbly with you, as a human being, in peace, in sincerity, in commitment, in solidarity, to take a real moment and mourn the tragic loss of these innocent, beautiful people."
