And the show must go on…
Rihanna’s ANTI world tour seems to finds itself with another dilemma. The tour, which had to re-schedule its first eight dates due to production problems, and later getting postponed before beginning, has not lost its opening act for its European leg. It was announced yesterday that The Weeknd has decided not to join Rihanna on the road. Live Nation sent out the following statement Wednesday morning (March 23):
“Due to some unforeseen changes with upcoming projects, The Weeknd will no longer be joining Rihanna on her upcoming international Anti World Tour.”
The Weeknd was scheduled to join RiRi overseas in Amsterdam on June 17th, for the kick-off of the European leg. A source to The Weeknd’s camp told Billboard that “Abel [The Weeknd] has hit a stride on his new album and decided not to interrupt the process.” I guess it’s safe to say he took his bow before even getting stated.
As of now Rihanna’s camp haven’t released any information on who will be his replacement or if Big Sean will remain as the only opening act. Travis Scott is currently opening for the U.S. leg of the tour.
Rihanna better get to work, work, work, work, work..
