Many of Christina Grimmie's pals, including Justin Bieber, were left devastated by her tragic death. The 22-year-old heartthrob took time during his concert in Winnipeg, Canada over the weekend to remember the late singer who was shot and killed on Friday night, June 10.
In one video taken and shared online by a concertgoer, Bieber is seen lying on the floor and heard singing, "Grimmie, can you hear me?" in between lyrics of his song "Purpose". He appears to be wiping tears off his face with his arm before he stands up and continues the song.
Grimmie was fatally shot while she was signing autographs and selling merchandise after her show in Orlando late last week. The shooter, who seemed to be a complete stranger to the singer, killed himself after committing the crime.
Grimmie was friend with Bieber's ex Selena Gomez as the two toured together years ago. The late star was managed by the former Disney darling's step-dad Brian Teefey.

Following Grimmie's death, Gomez broke down in tears when performing "Nobody" in honor of the former "The Voice" contestant at her own concert. The likes of Meghan Trainor and Fifth Harmony have also paid tribute to the 22-year-old songbird at their shows.
During their respective set at the WBLI Summer Jam in Wantagh, New York, Trainor dedicated her performance of "Like I'm Gonna Lose You" to Grimmie and asked the crowd to sing the ballad with her. "So if you will please sing it with me as a shout-out to our girl Christina. This one's for her. Let's sing nice and loud," she told the audience.
The ladies of 5H, meanwhile, requested a moment of silence for Grimmie, whom member Normani Kordei called "a beautiful soul" and "a beautiful talent." She said, "I remember the first time we met her, she was nothing but nice to us. So humble. We love you, and we are praying for your family, and we know you are smiling down from above. Let's all remember her: Christina Grimmie."
