Ariana Grande became visibly emotional during the final night of her London tour at the O2 Arena on Tuesday, expressing gratitude to fans as she announced a hiatus from public appearances. The 33-year-old singer tearfully thanked attendees for their support throughout her ten-date run in London, which was part of her broader Eternal Sunshine tour comprising 41 shows.

Addressing the audience, Grande described the experience as extraordinary and deeply meaningful, emphasizing her appreciation for the opportunity to connect with fans. She said the tour had been "one of the most beautiful, extraordinary experiences" of her life and reiterated her thanks for the unwavering support she received.

Family members including her parents, Joan and Edward, were present at the concert, alongside dancer and boyfriend Ricky Alvarez and fellow performer Cynthia Erivo, who is starring alongside Grande in the upcoming production of Stephen Sondheim’s "Sunday in the Park with George."

Last month, Grande announced her decision to step back from public engagements amidst ongoing scrutiny concerning her health and appearance. The singer revealed she would be withdrawing from the aforementioned Barbican production scheduled for next summer. In explaining her choice, she stated that setting boundaries is necessary and that taking time to rest is essential for well-being.

Grande recently released her album "Petal" in July, which has been met with critical interest. This period of professional pause comes after months of intensive public attention, leading the artist to prioritize her mental and physical health ahead of future projects.
