Ariana Grande<\/a>\u2019s brother has promised to have her back after her announcement that she will soon step back from the spotlight<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Frankie Grande<\/a> took to Instagram<\/a> to share a message supporting his younger sister, sharing how immensely proud he is of everything she\u2019s achieved. <\/p>\n

\"Ariana<\/p>\n

On August 2, Ariana Grande\u2019s team released a statement explaining that she will be stepping back from public visibility and appearances following the conclusion of her Eternal Sunshine tour.\u00a0Instagram\/@frankiejgrande<\/p>\n

\u201cFamily forever. I will have your back until the end of time,\u201d Frankie wrote on Instagram<\/a> alongside a clip of Ariana singing her hit single One Last Time during the Eternal Sunshine tour<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\u201cI am so proud of you and so happy for you. Last night was a beautiful celebration of your artistry and the magnificent eternal sunshine family you have built and created.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a magical night. You are magical. You are my everything and I am so so happy I was there to see you shine on this tour one last time.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the end of the clip, the camera flipped to show Frankie smiling as he watched his sister, with their mum, Joan Grande, resting her head on his shoulder while watching on in awe. <\/p>\n

Ariana\u2019s decision to step back from the spotlight came amid fans\u2019 growing concern for her health<\/a>. But the pop star assured her fan base that the decision had nothing to do with the current discourse online. <\/p>\n

Addressing fans at her show following the announcement, she explained that it was not a \u201creactive\u201d or \u201cimpulsive\u201d decision.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a decision that was made from a thoughtful and empowered place. And I want you to know many things can be true at the same time,\u201d Ariana explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to share this because I heard that my\u00a0fans were worried<\/a>\u00a0that negativity was ruining things for me, but I just have to say that could not be more the f–k opposite.<\/p>\n

Frankie and Ariana are half siblings, sharing the same mother, Joan Grande. Frankie is 10 years older than Ariana. \u00a0Instagram\/@frankiejgrande<\/p>\n

\u201cHonestly, this is not what that is. And I just want to be very, very clear: Multiple things can be true at the same time. Yes, boundaries, they need to be set. Human beings can need a break sometimes. And also, this can be and will continue to be the greatest experience of my professional and creative life.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ariana will be taking a break from her public-facing life following the final stop on her Eternal Sunshine tour, scheduled for September 1 in London. <\/p>\n
