Rhi-Times on Hold?
- Anticipated Rehearsal Performance Cancellation Prior to Public Declaration
Girl, don't worry, be happy...but maybe a bit patient 🎶
It appears Rihanna's (37) devotees might be waiting a wee bit longer for their live music fix. The once-mighty rumor mill churned out tidbits back in February, with the "Telegraph" citing alleged whispers from the live music industry, boasting that the Benji-Breaose daughter was gunning for up to six concerts in the London capital, slated for July. Though nothing official has been set in stone - think "here today, gone tomorrow" kinda vibe. Now, according to the "Sun", those dates could be as fictional as Bigfoot. The reason? Her new tunes ain't meters-away-from-done yet.
Last Hop on the Antichrist-abi Tour
Let's take a walk down memory lane, shall we? It's been well over eight years since Rihanna graced the stages with her awe-inspiring live performances, and insiders claim the plans to have her shine again have been cooking for close to three years. A source close to the situation informed the "Sun" that Rihanna was "dead set" on hitting the stage, hankering for the limelight, but alas, the stars aren't aligning quite as she'd hoped.
You might be thinking, "Yass, Queen of Barbados, I've missed your live shows so much, what's gonna happen?" Well, the Telegraph had a few ideas back in the day, suggesting Rihanna would've rocked the London Stadium on the 4th and 5th of July, with four more potential shows on the 8th, 9th, 11th, and 12th. There were even whispers about her headlining the illustrious Glastonbury Festival. However, the lineup for the festival was announced last week, and much like the Fonz asking where the beach is, no Rihanna has been found. You might be scratching your head about the lack of specificity, but hey, it's showbiz, baby!
New Tunes on the Way
Instead of turning up the heat on the stage, it seems Rihanna's been penning new ditties. In a recent interview with "Harper's Bazaar" magazine, she confirmed the rumors, saying, "I've figured out what I really want to do for my next project. I feel really good about it." About the sound, she revealed, "There ain't no box big enough to contain this musical masterpiece."
But why oh why the extended hiatus? Well, she spilled the beans on her cover story, saying, "After a while, I told myself that this time I haven't spent with music is crucial for the next gem I'll unleash upon the world. It's gotta be fire or (pause for effect) nothing, no mediocre beats."
Her last album, "Anti," hit the shelves way back in 2016. Let's hope this new project is worth all the waiting, shall we?! 💛🚀💖
