If you were looking forward to maybe seeing Rihanna this year, bad news, as it has been reported the star has cancelled her comeback London shows, days before they were set to be announced.
The Sun has said that RiRi pulled out of the gigs - which were set to be at West Ham’s London Stadium in July - in a meeting last week.
“Rihanna hasn’t toured in over eight years and the plan to get her back on stage has been ongoing for at least three,” a music insider told the paper.
“She had been eager to get back to it because the demand is certainly there, but she got cold feet.”
“The announcement of the shows had already been delayed, but as Rihanna fans are used to doing, they will just have to keep on waiting,” they added.
The London Standard has contacted representatives of Rihanna for comment.
The 37-year-old also recently confirmed she is working on her much-anticipated ninth studio album, which she has said won’t be a reggae record, though she said it might be a while before it’s released.
In an interview with Harper’s Bazaar, she also described her experience of getting older as “shit, but also a blessing”, and said she is focusing on living in the moment.
The Barbadian singer said: “Getting old is s**t, but it’s also a blessing.
“My legacy is right now. That’s all I have the most control over. My legacy is what I do with my time at this moment.
“How am I present with the people around me? How am I grateful? How am I making this a happy moment? How am I making a memory?”
The singer - who is reportedly worth $1.4 billion- has also said she is focusing more on spending her cash on experiences, rather than materialistic things.
“There’s just things that mean more when you grow up,” she added.
Beginning her career in 2003, Rihanna has gone on to achieve nine UK number one singles and four UK number one albums, along with nine Grammy Awards.
The singer is best known for songs such as Umbrella, Shut Up And Drive and What’s My Name?
She has had two children, RZA and Riot, with her partner, rapper ASAP Rocky, whose real name is Rakim Mayers.
