Ariana Grande Will Finish London Run After Revealing Foot Injury

She will perform the final O2 shows in flat "cozy" footwear before beginning a planned break from public-facing work.

Overview

  • Grande disclosed on Instagram on Monday that she is recovering from a "deep cut" on her foot and will perform the next two O2 Arena shows in "cozy footwear" because the injury is bandaged underneath.
  • Fans and social videos showing the singer limping during recent London performances prompted the public update and renewed concern about her condition.
  • Recordings from the residency captured her in black knee-high flat boots rather than her usual heels and Grande wrote that the cut is not a sprain or muscular issue and will not stop her from finishing the tour.
  • Her representative said she will "take a step back from visibility" after the tour ends and producers confirmed she has withdrawn from the West End revival of Sunday In The Park With George and will be recast.
  • The Eternal Sunshine Tour began in June with an extensive North American leg and a ten-night O2 residency, and recent coverage ties the injury and wardrobe change to intense public scrutiny that the singer says factored into her planned hiatus.
