Ariana Grande is said to be “absolutely heartbroken” following ex boyfriend Mac Miller‘s tragic passing, Us Weekly reports, and she’s opted to sit out her upcoming appearances.

Prior to the ceremony, Grande’s reps told PEOPLE that she would not be attending due to the tragic news.
“Contrary to reports, Ariana will not be attending the Emmys tonight,” her team told the publication, adding: “Pete has also opted to not attend to be with her in New York.”
And it looks like this won’t be the only occasion that Grande does not attend as her team added that she will be taking a much needed break to mourn her loss.
“Given the events of the past couple of years, Ariana is going to take some much needed time to heal and mend,” her team adds. “She will be staying close to home and using this period to spend time with her loved ones and work on new music without deadline. She thanks her fans for their understanding.”
Grande and Miller dated for almost two years and the singer is said to be “devastated” over the news.
“Although the two ended their relationship, Ariana always shared a deep connection with Mac and wanted nothing but the best for him,” an insider told Entertainment Tonight. “Ariana is very upset … Despite their split, Ariana had always been supportive of his sobriety.”
