Rihanna hospitalised, tweets her apologies to her Swedish fans as she is forced to cancel show

She is currently making her way around Scandinavia as she brings her Loud Tour to her Norwegian, Danish and Swedish fans. But last night, the latter were left extemely disappointed after Rihanna was forced to cancel her Swedish date due to a bad dose of the flu. 

The singer was taken to hospital and put on an IV drip in and took to her Twitter page to give her heartfelt apologies to her fans. Posting a picture of her arm hooked up to the drip, she wrote: 'Sorry, Malmo!' She also released a statement that said: 'I am sorry to everyone who was coming out to my show in Malmo Sweden. I was so excited to perform for you all. 'It would have been a great time…so much better than being sick with the flu, ugh! I'm really disappointed I couldn't be there.'

A rep for tour promoter Live Nation said the singer was 'not in condition to conduct the concert'. Rihanna is due to play in Stockholm tomorrow having played Oslo in Norway and Herning in Denmark this weekend. Fans were turned away from the Malmo Arena as they arrived for the gig and one fan, Natalie Wierenga, told the local newspaper Sydsvenskan that she was really disappointed.

She said: 'It was very sad. It could well have [been] communicated earlier.' Rihanna succumbing to illness may come as no surprise as she has been on tour since June and has been often snapped out partying while on the road.
