Ariana Grande will step back from all public-facing work after her London tour dates end on 1 September, her representatives have confirmed. The singer's decision, prompted by sustained scrutiny of her appearance, will see her withdraw from upcoming projects, including her planned West End debut in a revival of 'Sunday in the Park with George'.
Discussion around the artist intensified last month following the release of the music video for her new track 'Petal', where online commentators focused on her noticeably thinner frame. It follows a year of online commentary regarding her health, prompting her team to announce a pause on future public-facing engagements once her current three-month live run finishes.
