Ariana Grande to take a break from singing and shows

Ariana Grande will be "taking a step back" from public life once her Eternal Sunshine tour ends in September.

A spokesperson for the Wicked star has said she will also no longer appear in a musical production in London next year.

They've explained it's as a result of "endless, ongoing public scrutiny" - in other words, being talked about by people.

People have raised concerns about her health in recent years, and in 2023 Ariana posted a video on TikTok asking people to stop.

Her representative told People magazine that Grande looked forward to finishing her tour "on a high note, both healthily and happily, and then taking a much-deserved break from public-facing work and appearances."

They added: "She performs a very physical show, and there is a lot of athleticism involved. She performs healthily and successfully at a very high level night after night."

The tour's last show is scheduled to take place on 1 September in London.

The pop star was due to appear alongside her Wicked co-star, British actor Jonathan Bailey, in a show called 'Sunday in the Park with George' at the Barbican in London in 2027.

The company putting the show on said she had its "complete understanding and support" at her decision to quit, wishing her "nothing but the best".
