The pop star took to her Instagram Story ahead of Monday evening’s (Aug. 31) London concert to let fans know that she’ll be performing in “cozy footwear” while recovering from a minor foot injury. “My sweet petals,” Grande began in her message. “I wanted to let you know I will need to be in cozy footwear for this evening’s show (and possibly tomorrow’s) as I am bandaged up underneath, recovering from a minor injury.” The singer clarified that the injury is neither a sprain nor muscular, but rather “just a deep cut.” Grande reassured fans that they shouldn’t worry if they see her without her usual heels or notice that she is having “a little trouble putting weight on that foot.” “But please do not fret,” she added. “On with the show and I am on the mend!” Grande is at the tail end of her Eternal Sunshine tour, which began back in June in Oakland, Calif. The final show is scheduled for Tuesday night (Sept. 1) at London’s iconic O2 Arena. Following the tour, Grande plans on stepping away from the public eye for a spell. Grande closed her Instagram message with, “two more…” She also told fans that she “cannot wait” to perform over the next two nights, joking that she may be “a few inches shorter than usual.” Still, despite the injury, Grande made clear that she has no intention of letting a deep cut keep her from the stage. “On with the show,” she wrote, before signing off: “I love you always.” Get weekly rundowns straight to your inbox Sign Up
