Rihanna cancels Grammy performance
Rihanna was due to perform Kiss It Better at last night's Grammys, but she had to pull out with just hours to go after being consumed by bronchitis. Taking to twitter, the singer had this message for her "Navy". #NAVY so sorry I couldn't be there ..... Thanks Grammys and CBS for your support tonight. — Rihanna (@rihanna) February 16, 2016
Obviously, her fans were extremely upset, as were we - we REALLY wanted to see what she was going to wear on the red carpet this year given last year's ensemble. More on that at the end of the post.
Here are just some of the tweets posted under Rihanna's announcement, there are THOUSANDS - mostly involving Oprah in a state of distress.

And so it continues to continue. See all the tweets here
The sickness must have hit her like a tonne of bricks because she managed to make the rehearsals - in this sparkling Nina Ricci dress...
