Uh oh! Rihanna just pushed back her world tour. Does that mean there's trouble in ANTI paradise? Well, according to her own reps, yes. Deets inside...
After a slightly confusing album roll out and a sudden backing out of a HUGE Grammys performance due to a bout with bronchitis that seemed to affect her that night more than the night before when she performed, the Navy is taking yet another hit.
Their leader has pushed back the world tour announced back in November.
The ANTI tour was slated to kick off at the end of this month on February 26th in San Diego. Now, the tour will start March 12th in Jacksonville.
The first eight dates of the tour have been rescheduled for May. Her reps told Billboard this evening that "production delays" caused the postponement:
A source in San Jose tells Billboard that the second show on the tour -- set for Feb. 28 at the SAP Center and moved to May 8 -- was having production problems and the show wouldn't be ready in time, which has been known for a couple of weeks. The show was headed for a sellout.
Rihanna's rep confirmed to Billboard that "production delays" were behind the postponement.
Travis Scott is still slated to accompany her on the US leg of the tour, while The Weeknd and Big Sean will accompany her on the European leg kicking off this June.
