Tour wraps up in London

Ariana Grande gave the final concert of her Eternal Sunshine tour on Tuesday night at London’s O2 Arena. Following the decision she announced last month, the singer is preparing to spend some time away from the public eye after months of intense scrutiny over her health and appearance.

Grande was emotional at times during the final night. During One Last Time in particular, she came close to tears and moved closer to the audience to perform the song, which carries special meaning for survivors of the 2017 Manchester attack. She also had a brief emotional moment during Nowhere, Nobody, but continued with the performance.

In the closing part of the concert, Grande thanked her fans and described the tour as one of the most special experiences of her life. Her remarks gave the O2 Arena finale a clear sense of farewell.

Which plans are affected by the decision to step back?

Grande announced the move after social media comments about her weight grew following the release of the Petal video last month. She later said on stage that the decision was not a sudden reaction, but something she had been planning for a long time, and that setting personal boundaries was necessary.

  • Future events requiring public appearances will be put on hold.
  • Grande has withdrawn from Sunday in the Park with George, which had been planned for next summer at London’s Barbican.
  • Jonathan Bailey, who was expected to appear in the production alongside her, also left the project on Tuesday.

Before the tour began, the singer had already said she saw the concert series as “one last celebration.” The decision also reflects a desire to devote more time to acting after her Oscar-nominated performance in Wicked.

No sign of a health issue on stage

She finished the show despite a foot injury

Grande did not appear fragile or unwell on stage. The only clear issue that night was what she described as a deep cut on her foot, which is why she wore over-the-knee platform boots instead of her usual thin heels. Even so, she moved in sync with her dancers and continued running across the stage during the upbeat sections.

London concerts drew 200,000 fans

The tour began in the United States in June. The 10-show London run at the O2 Arena drew a total of 200,000 fans, including audiences who traveled from China, Australia and cities across Europe. One of the standout moments of the second night was an appearance by Wicked co-star Cynthia Erivo.

The show received broadly positive reviews, though some commentators also voiced concern for the singer. Grande ended the finale by being lifted up to the upper part of the arena, as she always does with the harness system, leaving fans wondering when they will next see her perform live.
