Yesterday, I posted about all the drama that has been taking place with the 150 reporters that have been touring with Rihanna on the 777 Tour as they all start to lose it due to lack of sleep. It was chaos on the plane as they departed from Berlin to London, but it looks that the drama of the tour carried over to London as well.
During her performance of “Where Have You Been,” the star abruptly stopped the song at the 1:06 mark and turned to her band and said, “Alright, what the f**k. Stop this sh*t. What the f**k is that?” She added, “Why is the track off from the band? This is the bullsh*t we deal with when we are just doing a random rock and roll tour with no rehearsal and sh*t.” The Unapologetic singer then said, “I apologize for everyone [live streaming] at home… We are going to start this one again from the top.”
Watch a video of the performance, including where Rihanna loses her cool at the 1:06 mark.

Nearly had an Ashley Simpson moment and embarassment overtook her. Its hard to sync the vocal track with a live banc and move yout lips to both. Her voice is going through the mike but dubbed over with the track which on key as we know it from the recording….oh the great and powerful OZ …please dont let us look behind the curtain….the illusion will be lost! just saying

What are you on about? Its a backing track, not full vocals. the song would have sounded like crap for the rest of it if they didn’t correct it.

I agree with Ev. Clearly she’s singing. Every artist has pre-recorded backing vocals for live shows. Also, I don’t think she was really trying to be bitchy. She was just keeping it real. She did say during her recent sit-down with Oprah that she has a certain affinity for the f bomb. Anyway, at least she was smart and professional enough to rectify the situation before it got any worse, and she killed that shit.

I wouldn’t really call it cursing out the band. Like Ev & Chris said, she saw a problem and corrected it. And she said why is the track not synced up with the band which to me sounds like she’s not blaming the band. I liked too how she explained to the crowd how this stuff happens sometimes live and apologized. Headlines make everything sound worse than it is.

I’m not a Rihanna fan, but I am a musician. She did nothing wrong and she didn’t demean her band. They were headed for a big train wreck and she caught it instead of stumbling through the whole tune.
