Ariana Grande is to take a "much-deserved break" from public appearances and will no longer star in an upcoming musical production in London when she ends her Eternal Sunshine tour next month.
A representative for the US singer, 33, told People magazine that she "will be taking a step back from visibility" when the tour ends, after her appearances led to "endless, ongoing public scrutiny".
The company behind a revival of Stephen Sondheim's Sunday in the Park with George, due to play at the Barbican in 2027, confirmed that she would no longer be part of the production and said she had its "complete understanding and support".
Grande's physical appearance and health have been a topic of speculation in recent years.
