Rihanna cancels gig in Malmo, Sweden, because of flu

Rihanna has been forced to pulled out of a concert in Sweden after receiving treatment for flu.

The 23-year-old singer apologised to fans and posted a picture on Twitter of her arm connected to an IV drip.

Organisers for the gig at the Malmo Arena said they hoped to reschedule the show, and fans who missed out would be offered refunds.

Rihanna’s European tour is set to resume tonight (1 November) at the Ericsson Globe in Stockholm.

The singer has already completed a handful of UK dates on her Loud tour and is set to return to play gigs in London, Birmingham, Sheffield, Manchester, Nottingham, Glasgow and Newcastle later this year.

Rihanna is to release her sixth album Talk That Talk later this month.
