Rihanna postpones three UK gigs

Birmingham's NEC Arena said the 19-year-old had been forced by her doctor to pull out of Monday's gig.

The star, who plans to reschedule, also pulled out of Saturday's Nottingham show. Tuesday's Bournemouth show was also postponed.

Birmingham's NEC said the Umbrella star "appreciates the love and support of all her fans and wants nothing more than to see and connect with them".

Fans with tickets are advised to hold on to them until further news is received.

A spokeswoman for the star was unable to comment.

Rihanna began the tour in Paris last month and was due to end it on 21 December in Moscow, Russia.

The star, who was discovered by US rapper Jay Z, shot to fame with the single Umbrella, which stayed at number one in the UK singles chart for 10 weeks.
