Ariana Grande to Take Break From Public Eye After Eternal Sunshine

Wicked star Ariana Grande will take a ‘step back from visibility’ following her Eternal Sunshine tour, and has exited West End musical Sunday in the Park with George, which was due to open in London next summer.

Ariana Grande is set to take a break from public-facing work and appearances after wrapping up her Eternal Sunshine tour in London on September 1. The decision comes amidst ongoing public scrutiny surrounding her body and health, with a representative stating that the constant attention has become overwhelming.

Following her tour, Grande will focus on ending it positively and then stepping away from the public eye for a well-deserved break. This move follows heightened scrutiny over her appearance, particularly after the release of her music video for Petal, which attracted disrespectful comments about her weight.

Grande, known for her roles in Wicked adaptations and upcoming projects like Meet the Parents sequel Focker-in-Law and the animated Dr. Seuss adaptation, is looking forward to a period of privacy away from the spotlight.
