Ariana Grande to Step Away From Public Life After Tour Concludes

Ariana Grande plans to take a step back from public visibility after her Eternal Sunshine Tour concludes next month. According to a statement from her representative, Grande will be taking a much-deserved break from public-facing work and appearances due to "endless, ongoing public scrutiny."

Grande has also dropped out of her role in the West End revival production of "Sunday in the Park With George," where she was set to headline alongside Jonathan Bailey.

The decision to take a break comes after years of public speculation regarding Grande's health and personal life. Her representative stated that she looks forward to finishing the tour and ending it on a high note, both healthily and happily.
