Ariana Grande wrapped up the first leg of her Eternal Sunshine tour Thursday night in Chicago, and as she heads to London for a run of shows there, she gave thanks to her fans for their support.
“i love you … i cannot believe that this concludes the north american leg of the eternal sunshine tour,” she wrote on Instagram. “i am overwhelmed with love and the deepest gratitude. thank you endlessly for the most special, beautiful, joyful and deeply fulfilling few months … i will cherish every moment of this time with you all & these memories forever.”
“thank you, chicago … london, i cannot wait to see you soon. i love you all more than ever,” she added.
Ari is set to do 10 shows at London’s O2 Arena starting Aug. 15. After the shows wrap up Sept. 1, she will take a step back from the public eye, as her representatives announced several days ago. But at her Aug. 3 concert, Ari assured her fans that her decision had nothing to do with any negative feelings towards the tour. “This can be and will continue to be the greatest experience of my professional and creative life,” she told the crowd at her show.
In other Ariana news, a superfan undergoing cancer treatment had her dreams come true when Ari’s team invited her and her husband to attend two of her concerts.
As reported by ABC’s Good Morning America, Jess Potter had purchased tickets to the show, but had to cancel after a bad reaction to her chemo. Her husband Daryl tried to cheer her up by buying a ponytail and a microphone and putting on an Ariana concert in their living room. A TikTok of his performance went viral, leading to the invitation, and even a note from Ari herself.
