Rihanna has laryngitis

  • March 11, 2013
  • Brad O'Mance

Rihanna in the bathRihanna's not feeling par­tic­u­larly chipper.

The 'Pour It Up' hitmaker cancelled the second 'gig' of her Diamonds world tour in Boston last night due, it has been claimed, to a bad throat.

"Unfortunately, following her sold out concert on Friday Rihanna has con­trac­ted laryngitis and per doctor's instruc­tion is unable to perform this evening," a statement read (as quoted here).

It was due to be her second show of the world tour following the opening night in Buffalo, New York on Friday.

In other popstars-cancelling-'gigs 'news', Justin Bieber's pulled a show in Lisbon, Portugal due to "unfore­seen cir­cum­stances" and there's more about all that here.
