Rihanna Hits Red Carpet, Nixes Concert

Singer debuts at Met, cancels show on same day

Share

(Newser) – Rihanna hit the red carpet last night for the first time since her alleged beating by Chris Brown, the AP reports. The singer, clad in a tuxedo, attended the Metropolitan Museum’s annual costume gala. Also yesterday, a comeback concert in Dubai—scheduled for May 28, the day of Brown’s next hearing—was canceled, E! adds. “It is not appropriate timing for her,” the organizer said.
