Summary
- Grande has canceled appearances for 'Wicked: For Good' promotions.
- The star cited a COVID-19 diagnosis as her reason for absence.
- This follows recent setbacks during the film's press tour.
Ariana Grande has recently canceled appearances for her upcoming film 'Wicked: For Good' due to a COVID-19 diagnosis. The actress and singer pulled out of a planned appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show and will be missing scheduled Q&A panels in the coming days, impacting promotional activities for the highly anticipated movie.
This health announcement comes after a series of challenging events during the film's press tour. Grande and her co-star Cynthia Erivo previously skipped most interviews at the New York City premiere due to Erivo reportedly losing her voice. Earlier, Grande faced a flight safety issue en route to a premiere in Brazil and a red carpet security incident in Singapore.
Grande's COVID-19 diagnosis adds another hurdle to the film's promotional efforts. This follows a past instance where both Grande and Erivo contracted COVID-19 days before filming crucial scenes for the first 'Wicked' movie in 2024, highlighting the ongoing challenges faced by the production and its stars.
