Ariana Grande has surprised fans with the release of Petal (The Complete Live Album).
Available only on iTunes, it includes all 12 tracks from her latest album Petal and a live cut of Hate That I Made You Love Me from one of her Eternal Sunshine tour rehearsals.
The release comes one week after Ariana brought the run to a close.
Last Tuesday (01.09.26), Ariana burst into tears at London’s O2 Arena as she performed her final show before taking a long-planned career break.
The 33-year-old singer wrapped her 41-date trek across the US, Canada and the UK with a heartfelt farewell, telling fans the tour had been “one of the most beautiful, extraordinary experiences” of her life.
She choked up as she thanked the crowd, saying she wanted to express her gratitude “without sobbing”.
Fighting tears, she told fans: “Thank you from the bottom of my heart… I’ll cherish this experience always, and I have the best fans in the entire world.”
She ended her speech by thanking them for “being by my side all the way from Honeymoon Avenue to Hampstead”.
The pop star also became emotional during One Last Time (Attends-moi), asking the audience to help her sing when she struggled to get the words out.
Grande performed her final two shows in “cosy” Uggs after suffering a “deep cut” on her foot. She explained the injury on Instagram the night before, telling fans she was bandaged and might have trouble putting weight on her foot, but insisted she was “on the mend” and ready to perform – even if she was “a few inches shorter than usual”.
The Dangerous Woman hitmaker previously paused her Chicago show on August 3 to explain that her decision to step back from visibility was made “a long time ago”, stressing it was not a reaction to online commentary about her appearance.
She described the tour as “one of the most healing, beautiful, correct and special experiences” she has ever had, telling fans: “I wish that words were enough to articulate how much I love you.”
