Grande Pauses Public Life After Tour, Drops West End Role
Ariana Grande, a famous singer, is taking a break from being in front of cameras after her big tour ends.
She also decided not to act in a new London musical that was supposed to start in 2027.
Her team said she wants to rest and feel better because people keep talking about her body a lot.
Some fans and friends worried about her health.
The musical would have had her act with Jonathan Bailey, who she worked with in the Wicked movies.
Ariana Grande will step back from public appearances after her Eternal Sunshine Tour ends on September 1, 2027.
She has withdrawn from the West End revival of Stephen Sondheim’s "Sunday in the Park with George" scheduled for 2027.
Her representative said the decision is to take a "much-deserved break" from visibility following the tour.
The move follows backlash over her new music video "Petal" and body‑shaming comments.
The West End production would have reunited her with co‑star Jonathan Bailey from the "Wicked" films.
