American Idol judge Katy Perry has resurfaced at a London concert with A-list friends as many fans believe she’s “quitting” the show.
Comedian Chelsea Handler, 48, shared photos featuring the Last Friday Night singer at the concert on her Instagram Sunday.

Chelsea captioned the post: “I bartended the Springsteen show last night, and it felt incredible to be of service. I Love London, but no one is as lovable than Bruce Springsteen. What a ducking show!”
The photos showed the Chelsea Does star hanging out with Katy Perry, 38, and other celebrities at the Bruce Springsteen concert held at London’s Hyde Park.
Katy’s fiance Orlando Bloom, 46, was shown hugging the late-night talk show host as the Roar artist did just that beside them.
Gathered with the trio were director Judd Apatow, 55, his wife, actress Leslie Mann, 51, and Los Angeles-based jeweler Irene Neuwirth.
Dame Emma Thompson, 64, was also included in Chelsea’s concert post as well as E Street Band member Steven Van Zandt, 72, and politician John Kerry, 79.
In the post’s comment section, one fan asked: “Is that John Kerry???”
Chelsea hilariously replied: “Oh yeah, baby. No one knows how to rock out more than John Kerry.”
Another fan questioned: “Is that a casual Emma Thompson classing up the joint?”
A third person responded: “OF COURSE IT IS. She’s just the coolest.”
A fourth commenter mentioned: “No one mentioning Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom in the first pic?”
A seemingly bitter fan shot back: “Because no one cares… Katy Perry is full of herself and rude.”
While in London, Katy appeared at Wimbledon with her fiance and stepson.
The American Idol judge enjoyed some family time last Wednesday amid a break from the show.
Katy spent some time across the pond in London, her fiance’s hometown.
At the Wimbledon Championships, she wore a long-sleeve, navy blue, off-the-shoulder shirt, along with an ankle-length white skirt.
The Smile singer tied a scarf around her neck, which was blue and white polka-dots.
Katy wore her hair down and had side-swept bangs.
Orlando matched his fiancee as he wore a navy suit with a white checkered pattern.
He wore black dress shoes and sunglasses.
Orlando’s rarely-seen son, Flynn, was seen walking in front of them, as they entered the venue.
Katy and Orlando’s daughter, Daisy, did not seem to be at Wimbledon.
Orlando shares his son with his ex-wife, Miranda Kerr.
The couple was photographed during the tournament.
Katy sipped on a drink and Orlando whispered into her ear as they sat in the crowd.

OH, BABY!
Katy got to spend more family time on Wednesday, as she has been rumored to be quitting the show.
The U.S. Sun can exclusively reveal the 38-year-old is considering quitting the show to spend more time with her almost three-year-old daughter Daisy, according to an ABC insider.
An American Idol insider shared Katy has been “milling over” her future for months as she has spoken about her desire to grow her family, spend more time with Orlando, and continue her own musical career away from the show.
On the family front, the source claimed Katy has spoken about wanting a “baby brother or sister” for Daisy.
Katy reportedly “wants to rectify” her busy schedule taking time away from Orlando, as the source continued: “With both of them working so much on projects, time as a family is also very precious.”
“She’s spoken about wanting more sleep and feeling a lot more emotional than usual this season,” the insider revealed.
As for her career, the source shared Katy would like to tour the world again “on her terms” too, rather than doing a hefty schedule across multiple continents.
Katy’s hesitation about joining American Idol’s next season may have a financial motivation.
“The money she could earn from a few stadium gigs could eclipse the deal that ABC can offer,” the insider added.
KATY’S HOT TAKES
Throughout season 21 of American Idol, Katy was accused of “mom-shaming” and being “condescending” toward various contestants.
Back in April, many viewers felt she acted “rudely” toward singer Wé Ani in particular.
The singer was slammed for looking shocked when Wé was picked as the last person to go through to the top 12 and for failing to give her any feedback after her performance.
However, last month, Season 21 finalist Oliver Steele opened up about what Katy is like in real life.
Oliver appeared on the American Idol Unaired Podcast with Bennett Scheer on June 12.
He talked about being friends with Season 21 winner, Iam Tongi, being saved in the finals, his song choices, the judges, and more.
Bennett told the singer that he wanted to reflect on some of the memories Oliver made on the show.
“I know you said before that you have a lot of fond memories with Katy and Luke and Lionel [Richie] as well. I’m curious about what you think,” he asked Oliver.
Oliver said that Luke was the guy who “loves to laugh.”
He also added that during Hollywood Week, Lionel would turn around in his chair and talk to the contestants.
“Katy is a little bit more reserved, but that doesn’t mean that she is unapproachable,” Oliver let the host know.
“I was a little irritated with the way she was being treated after the show and the things people were saying because it’s all bullcrap.”
Oliver continued: “Katy’s a wonderful person.”
The Idol finalist went on to share a sweet memory of him and the Roar singer.
“I remember day one in Hollywood, I was like, ‘Katy, do you mind if we get a photo?’ And she was like, ‘Yeah, sure, babe, like one second.’ Cause they were doing her make-up. And then she was like, ‘Alright, let’s get that photo’,” Oliver shared.
“Like she’s just super sweet,” he added.
