After dropping Anti and “Work” and whetting our collective whistle for a year of genius music, Rihanna canceled her Grammys performance at the last second.
The singer, who is now spruiking latest album Anti, has been put on vocal rest for 48 hours by her doctor as she was “at risk of hemorrhaging her vocal cords”.
The 27-year-old made it to rehearsals but left early and did not walk the red carpet.
The singer has been suffering with bronchitis and while she has been taking antibiotics it hasn’t quite cleared up the infection, according to the outlet.
No Beyonce, no Nicki Minaj and now no Rihanna, who has pulled out due to illness.
Rihanna was spotted entering the Staples Center in Los Angeles, but the ceremony went ahead, skipping her performance. “Therefore she can not perform safely”, the statement said.
