As we speak, Rihanna still finds herself taking on the early dates of her freshly launched tour. Bringing plenty of old and newer records to life, thousands of fans have, so far, have went on to attend and experience Rihanna in her element. Being joined by Travis Scott for the U.S. leg of the tour, it was previously announced that The Weeknd and Big Sean would also join Rihanna during the upcoming European leg of the tour. Unfortunately, there has been a change of plans as The Weeknd will no longer be hitting the road with the ‘Work’ singer due unforeseen changes, per a statement by Live Nation that was sent to Fader.
“Due to some unforeseen changes with upcoming projects, The Weeknd will no longer be joining Rihanna on her upcoming international Anti World Tour.”
While being unfortunate news for those that were looking forward to seeing the Beauty Behind The Madness singer, it raises the curiosity of what The Weeknd finds himself working on that would cause him to drop out of the opportunity. Perhaps, a new body of work could be coming much sooner than we thought. Nevertheless, the “ANTI World Tour” must go on and there’s no doubt that Rihanna is more than capable of carrying on.
