Ariana Grande to step back from public appearances

2 min read

Ariana Grande will curtail public-facing appearances after her Eternal Sunshine Tour concludes in September, a spokeswoman said, citing "endless, ongoing public scrutiny." Empire Street Productions confirmed she will no longer star in the London staging of Stephen Sondheim's "Sunday in the Park With George," though the company said the production will continue and expressed support for her decision. The singer released her eighth studio album, "Petal," on July 31, which the article says reflects dissatisfaction with invasive fame. Immediate consequences include a cast change for the Barbican production and a high-profile artist pause on public work.
