Rihanna’s Comeback Concert Shut Down
May 5th, 2009
Just one month after Rihanna announced her first public performance since she was allegedly assaulted by boyfriend Chris Brown, the show has been canceled.
The singer had been scheduled to perform later this month in the United Arab Emirates, but Yassin Matbouly of concert organizer Vibe Entertainment Management Agency, said in a statement that the concert has been canned.
“We want to share with you that Rihanna and her management will not be accepting to hold a public concert at this time as it is not appropriate timing for her,” he said.
“Vibe has been ready and was looking forward to putting this concert together for the crowd of the Middle East. We have sourced venues in both Dubai and Abu Dhabi and started looking into complying with her request to put the show on.
“This is very sad for us at this time knowing the concert will not happen, but we will not give up and we will continue to put our offer to Rihanna’s management for a future date.”
There has been no immediate comment from Rihanna, 21.
