Ariana Grande has made a statement in anticipation of her upcoming concerts in London. The 33-year-old singer had previously declared her intention to step back from the public eye after wrapping up her 10-night residency at The O2, which marks the conclusion of her Eternal Sunshine tour.

Commencing her residency on August 15 and concluding on September 1, the pop star has also pulled out from the forthcoming theatre production of Stephen Sondheim’s Sunday In The Park With George, where she was set to star alongside Jonathan Bailey, her co-star from Wicked.

To mark the end of the North American leg of her tour, Ariana shared a series of photos on her Instagram account for her 363 million followers, expressing her gratitude and love for the experiences shared during the tour. She disabled comments on her post following a show in Chicago where she addressed her decision to step back amidst heightened public scrutiny.

During the Chicago show, Ariana clarified that her choice to step back was not sudden but a well-thought-out decision made long ago. She reassured her fans that taking a break was necessary, emphasizing that multiple truths can coexist, and setting boundaries is crucial for well-being.

A representative for the singer confirmed that Ariana plans to take a break from public appearances after completing the Eternal Sunshine Tour to focus on her well-being and happiness, following continuous public scrutiny. The tour has been a rewarding experience for her, and she appreciates the support from her fans.
