Ariana Grande welcomed her Wicked co-star Cynthia Erivo to the stage in London for a surprise performance of "For Good" during a concert at the O2 Arena. The pair also performed a medley of "Get Happy" and "Happy Days Are Here Again."
Grande is currently on her Eternal Sunshine Tour, which concludes with 10 dates at the O2 Arena, with the final show scheduled for Sept. 1. Earlier this month, Grande announced she would be stepping back from public-facing work after the tour ends.
A representative for Grande said the singer would take "a much-deserved break from public-facing work and appearances, which has led to endless, ongoing public scrutiny." Grande clarified the decision was not "reactive or impulsive," saying she had made the plan "a long time ago" from "a thoughtful and empowered place."
On stage in Chicago, Grande told fans that "multiple things can be true at the same time: boundaries need to be set, human beings can need a break sometimes and also, this can be and will continue to be the greatest experience of my professional and creative life." She also withdrew from a planned London West End revival of Stephen Sondheim's Sunday in the Park With George as part of the step back.
