Did Rihanna’s late night partying cause a two-hour delay to her Birmingham concert? Find out what some of the UK critics are saying inside…
Rihanna might be up to her old tricks when it comes to partying with pals (instead of preparing for her next tour stop). You’ll recall that Rihanna had to cancel several US tour dates earlier this year due to "illness", though most folks blamed her late night partying that possibly caused the illness.
And on Monday, Rihanna kepts fans in Birmingham waiting two hours before she finally hit the stage at 10:30pm, for what had been billed as an 8pm concert! So what was the hold up?
No one has an "official" excuse, but paps did snap RiRi partying with bff Melissa Forde and model Cara Delevingne at London hotspot Bouijs at 1:45am. And with reports that she left the club after 3am…it’s natural that she would be a little tired.
But there seems to be a bigger issue brewing overseas. It isn’t that Rihanna simple starts her shows late. In fact, UK critics have been panning her concerts as lackluster and boring. The London Standard said this about her recent Twickenham stop,
"As her penchant for casually singing over the top of her own records at shows suggests, Rihanna wasn’t the most vigorous performer, and she looked dead-eyed …Rihanna deserves a break and so do we."
Damn. Yet and still, she’s been selling out some stadiums overseas.
During her "break" Monday night, Rihanna wore a glittery top with iridescent shoes and a Stella McCartney clitch. She tweeted "Holographic nights in #London …." The trio of fab chicks had gone to the hotspot to see Rihanna’s brother, Rorrey Fenty, perform.
Outside of touring (and partying) Rihanna announced to fans that her summer collection with MAC will be available today. "My #RiRiHeartMac #SUMMERCOLLECTION is finally here just as we promised!!! Go to www.MacCosmetics.com and join the online queue now before its too late!! #MACgirl #RiRiheartMAC #nobasics"
And the self-assured bad gal tweeted that her Navy fans are buying up the products like they’re the next Jordans….esp. since the first lippie sold out in minutes.
Are you going to be rocking makeup from Rihanna’s MAC line?
