Rihanna cancels Grammy Performance

Rihanna highly anticipated Grammy performance was
cancelled due to bronchitis. She actually arrived at the
venue of the awards, the Staples Center, but did not
walk the red carpet. She went straight to rehearsals but
left.
A rep for Rihanna tells TMZ the singer took antibiotics
for three days leading up to the show, but they didn’t
work.
Rihanna was then examined by a doctor at
her rehearsal Monday, who decided to put her
on vocal rest for 48 hours because the singer
was at risk of damaging her vocal cords. The
singer arrived at the Staples Center but did
not walk the red carpet. She went to
rehearsals and left.
Sources connected to the production told TMZ, Rihanna
has been struggling with and is on meds. A doctor on
site recommended that she pull the plug on the
performance because it could permanently damage her
vocal cords.
Rihanna wanted to perform but reluctantly decided she
had to listen to her doctors. She left Staples and is
going home.
She was going to sing “Kiss It Better.” She even
rehearsed twice but in the end the show just could not
go on.
