Overview
- Ariana Grande’s team told People on Sunday that she will “take a step back from visibility” once the Eternal Sunshine Tour finishes, framing the break as time to recover from nonstop public scrutiny.
- Empire Street Productions confirmed that Grande has withdrawn from the West End revival of Sunday in the Park With George and that the production will recast her role.
- The Eternal Sunshine Tour concludes with a 10-show London residency that ends on Sept. 1, and Grande’s representative said she looks forward to finishing the run “healthily and happily.”
- No medical diagnosis or private health details have been released; a source close to Grande told reporters she has been performing a very physical show “healthily and successfully at a very high level night after night.”
- The announcement follows intensified online commentary after the July 31 release of her Petal video and raises questions about how Grande will handle upcoming promotion for projects such as the November film Focker-in-Law while she is out of the public eye.
