Ariana Grande will step back from visibility and public-facing work following the conclusion of her world tour. A representative for the 33-year-old singer stated that Grande will take a much-deserved break from appearances once her Eternal Sunshine tour wraps in London on September 1.

The decision follows endless and ongoing public scrutiny, specifically on social media regarding the singer's health.

Consequently, Grande is pulling out of the upcoming London revival of Stephen Sondheim's critically acclaimed musical, Sunday in the Park With George. The production was set to open in summer 2027 at the Barbican theater, where the singer was due to star alongside her Wicked co-star Jonathan Bailey.
