'She wants Eternal Sunshine immortalised': Ariana Grande will film her London shows for an upcoming concert special

Ariana Grande will film her London shows for an upcoming concert special.

The 33-year-old singer will kick off a 10-date residency of her Eternal Sunshine tour at the O2 Arena next weekend and the shows are set to be recorded for a new streaming special.

A source told The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre column: “Despite all the noise around her, she has fully enjoyed returning to the stage as a pop star.

“She didn’t think she would ever tour again and certainly won’t for a long, long time, so she wants Eternal Sunshine immortalised.

“It’s also the perfect present to her fans while she takes time away from the spotlight.”

This comes after Ariana announced that she will step back from public life after her Eternal Sunshine tour is over.

Last week, she took time out from her concert in Chicago to explain to fans that the break was pre-planned.

The singer and actress insisted the decision had been carefully considered long before recent online discussion about her appearance.

Addressing the audience during a four-minute speech, Ariana said: “Can we get a little real tonight?

“The announcement that was made yesterday was not a reactive or impulsive thing.

“It is something that I had decided to plan. It was a thoughtful decision. It was an empowering decision. I made it quietly, a long time ago.”
