Following the conclusion of her “Eternal Sunshine” concert tour in early September, singer and actress Ariana Grande plans to temporarily step away from public life, according to a statement from her representative shared by foreign media. The decision comes after prolonged public and media scrutiny surrounding her health and appearance.
Ariana Grande to Step Away From Public Life After Tour
Grande’s representative stated that the artist wants to conclude her current tour in a healthy and successful manner before taking a break from public engagements. According to the representative, the tour has been a wonderful experience for the singer, who loves her fans and has enjoyed every moment.
This planned hiatus means Grande will no longer participate in the upcoming London revival of Stephen Sondheim’s musical “Sunday in the Park with George.” She had been slated to star in the production alongside actor Jonathan Bailey. Show producers have confirmed that the staging will proceed as planned, with Grande’s role assigned to another actress.
Scrutiny Over Health and Appearance Prompts Break
Discussions regarding Grande’s health resurfaced recently following the release of her new album “Petal” and its title track music video. Her physical appearance has been the subject of extensive commentary across social media platforms for several years.
Grande has previously addressed this scrutiny, urging the public to refrain from commenting on other people’s bodies and health. In a prior interview, she described the habit of freely judging someone’s outward appearance and speculating on their well-being as dangerous.
Tour Conclusion and Future Plans
According to current schedules, the “Eternal Sunshine” concert tour will wrap up on Sept. 1 in London. Following that final performance, Grande will suspend her public activities.
