This summer, the shooting in Pulse nightclub in Orlando of 49 innocent victims affected people all over the world.

It was the deadliest incident of violence against LGBT people in the history of the United States.

Tributes have since been paid all over the world in various ways, from the club itself featuring a permanent memorial, to a song by various artists and a video message with the names of the victims.

Sia is the latest celebrity to pay tribute to the victims, in her new single and music video.

The Greatest features Kendrick Lamar and the video features Sia’s resident dancer Maddie Ziegler.

The video opens with a harsh image of bodies on the ground followed by a message that reads #WeAreYourChildren. Dancer Maddie has rainbow stripes painted on her face.

The video features 49 dancers to represent and honour the 49 innocent lives lost during the shooting.
