Rihanna 'fine' after fleeing stage in Sydney
Rihanna
Singer was hot and dehydrated during show
Rihanna is reportedly doing fine after running off stage in Sydney, Australia during a duet with her boyfriend Chris Brown today (November 7).
The singer was performing her hit ‘Umbrella’ with Brown when she fled the stage immediately after finishing her last verse.
Internet videos show the singer hunched over as she ran offstage before the song had come to an end.
However, a rep for Rihanna told [url=E News]E! News[/url] that the venue was very hot and she simply needed to rest and drink some water, saying:
"It was very hot at the venue, so after Rihanna's set was over, she went off stage to sit down, catch her breath and have some water."
She is set to perform again tomorrow night in Sydney.
