Here is a short list of things Rihanna has bailed on over the last six months: the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show performance (Ellie Goulding stepped in last minute); releasing her long-awaited album (she bequeathed us with this video instead); and the Grammys (apparently there's something up with her vocal chords?).
And now, we can add another change of plans to the pile.
Eight dates on Rihanna's upcoming tour for ANTI are being moved due to production delays, according to an email received by Refinery29. If you were intending to see RiRi in San Diego, Houston, Austin, Dallas, Atlanta, Phoenix, New Orleans, Oakland, or San Jose, make sure to update your calendar.
We've included the new schedule below, courtesy of Rihanna's website. Impacted tour dates appear in bold.
