Rihanna has canceled her plans for a comeback gig.
The Umbrella hitmaker, 21, has scrapped her show in the United Arab Emirates — her first planned appearance since her alleged assault by Chris Brown in February, according to E! News.
“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,” said Yassin Matbouly from the would-be concert organiser Vibe Entertainment Management Agency.
“Rihanna’s management contacted us on Saturday and explained she was unable to come to the UAE in May, but said she is keen to still perform in the region.
“Vibe has been ready and was looking forward to putting this concert together for the crowd of the Middle East.
“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.”
