After ten years of waiting, Rihanna fans look set to be treated to new music and live shows this year.

It’s been a decade since the superstar released her most-recent studio set, 2016’s ‘Anti’, with insiders telling The Sun’s Bizarre column that, after axing plans last year during her pregnancy, she’s finally ready to return.

“She had to cancel her shows planned at the London Stadium last summer because she was expecting her daughter,” they said.

“Rihanna has loved being a mum to her kids and has been so busy working on her Fenty fashion brand but music is her soul passion. She’s ready to get back out on stage and wants her fans to hear the music she has been working on.

“This is going to be a monumental year for Rihanna and fans can expect massive shows. It’s going to be a sell-out, that’s for sure.”

According to the paper, shows will take place in August, marking 10 years since she last hit the road with her ‘Anti World Tour’ in 2016.

In the years since, the ‘Diamonds’ singer released a handful of standalone tracks, including ‘Lift Me Up‘ from ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’, which peaked at No. 3 on the UK Singles Chart, and headlined the Super Bowl LVII halftime show in Glendale, Arizona in 2023.
