UAE and Dubai fans are issuing pleas for embattled pop star Rihanna to
reconsider her decision to cancel her much-publicized and anticipated
comeback concert in the nation May 28.
According to sources
close to the concert, Rihanna's management contacted organizers to
cancel the anticipated show last week, stating "it's just not the right
time for her". However, upset fans say they wish Rihanna would
reconsider returning to the stage.
In fact, UAE's Tabloid!
publication wants fans to not "give up" and encourage the singer to
"take the plunge and return to the stage in a positive atmosphere in
Dubai" via its website and Gulf News.com
According to Gulf News, calls to Rihanna's management
had not been returned at press time however, Vibe Event Management
Agency has come forward to speak on the canceled show:
"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 of Vibe.
"Vibe
has been ready and was looking forward to putting this concert together
for the crowd of the Middle East. We have sourced venues in both Dubai
and Abu Dhabi and started looking into complying with her request to
put the show on. 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."
Vibe
also suspected that Rihanna had possibly underestimated the numbers and
media attention when it came to performing a concert in the region.
If
the concert took place it would be Rihanna's first show since the
January 29th Pepsi Smash concert performed just before the NFL's
Superbowl XLIII.

If she's not ready, SHE'S NOT READY!! Give her time, even though I wish she would perform. With all the issues with Chris, I doubt if she's really ready. Love you RiRi, take all the time you want(but not too much time)!
Looks like Chris Brown wins this one as he just slapped the music(and spirit) right outta her. I guess to him that's what being a man is all about. Hope I'm wrong.
SHE NOT READY BUT SHE OUT PARTYING AND FAKING NEW RELATIONSHIPS ACTING LIKE SHE NOT OVER CHRIS AND PRETENDING THAT HE IS THE ONLY ONE STALKING HER SHE LOOKED AND ACTING MORE CLINGY TOWARD CHRIS THAN HE EVER WAS ON HER WISH THIS GIRL WOULD GET HER ACT TOGETHER
