Others took to the comments to praise Grande’s sobriety journey: “Super proud of ur recovery journey btw. You are glowing,” wrote one.
Grande sings about sobriety in Hotel Rock Bottom
The performer has been sober since 2017, following the tragic terrorist bombing at his sister Ariana Grande’s concert, which he sings openly about in his debut album Hotel Rock Bottom, including its album-titled lead single.
Speaking previously to Attitude, Grande shared what the song is about in detail, recalling the state of mind he was in at the time.
“I told the whole story about where I was in London, after the Manchester bombing, and it was a hotel that I just didn’t think I’d ever get out of,” he said.

“I kept pushing my flight back, and I kept extending my stay, and I was just such a disaster of drunken insanity inside that hotel. I remember thinking ‘I’m going to die here.’”
He had been using substances for nine years prior to the bombing. “At that point, I had exhausted my ability to process trauma,” said Grande.
The Instagram post comes after a representative for his sister Ariana Grande announced the singer will be “taking a step back from visibility” after her Eternal Sunshine tour ends in London on 1 September.
Speaking to People, they said: “She looks forward to finishing the tour and ending it on a high note, both healthily and happily, and then taking a much-deserved break from public-facing work and appearances, which has led to endless, ongoing public scrutiny.”
“This tour has been a beautiful experience for her. She loves her fans and has loved every minute of this tour so much.”
