Rihanna cancels her live music return just days before it was due to be announced

Rihanna has dramatically cancelled her live music return – just days before it was due to be announced.

She had booked dates at West Ham’s London Stadium ground this July for six shows to relaunch herself as a singer — nine years after her last album, Anti.

In a secret meeting last week she pulled plans for the shows because her new music isn’t ready.

Now bosses are desperately trying to talk her into changing her mind and going ahead with the concerts, which would bring millions to the economy.

A music insider said: “Rihanna hasn’t toured in over eight years and the plan to get her back on stage has been ongoing for at least three. She had been eager to get back to it because the demand is certainly there, but she got cold feet.

“The announcement of the shows had already been delayed, but as Rihanna fans are used to doing, they will just have to keep on waiting.”

Last month, it was revealed the singer had earmarked July 4 to 12 for concerts at London Stadium. It was also suggested she could headline Glastonbury this summer, although that is not believed to have ever been on the cards.

She cancelled R9 because Mayhem is clearly Album of the Year. R9 coming late 2026 now.

She has 90.1M monthly listeners on Spotify without releasing new music since ANTI (?)

monthly listeners statistic is irrelevant

Not when Gaga is #2.

It’s not a strong metric like sales - I agree

But being the 8th artist in the world without releasing new music for years tells that clearly there is interest. 
 

With a strong song and MV she would easily debut #1 on BB100
