Rihanna Arrives 30 Minutes Late To Dublin Gig, Bursts Into Tears On Stage

#1 Rihanna left her fans very concerned after she burst into tears

during her second song of a Dublin gig last night, to which she arrived 30 minutes late.

#2 The star seemed fine as she began singing her collaboration with Eminem, Love The Way You Lie, and fans sang along heartily.

But soon into it, Rihanna moved away from the mic and held her hands up as tears streamed from her eyes.

#3 The moment was filmed by several gig-goers who said they hoped the Bajan singer was okay.

#4 While Love The Way You Lie is quite an emotional song about broken relationships, and the 28-year-old has been known to cry on stage before.

During her song Take A Bow at a gig last year she broke down, and at the time people wondered whether she was thinking of her ex Chris Brown.

#5 But she also cried with happiness at the intensity of her French fans’ devotion at a 2013 gig in Lille.

#6 Indeed, last night Rihanna later told the crowd:

‘I only have ever in my life heard an audience of people scream so loud that they sound like one voice and that only happens in Ireland, in Dublin. Thank you so much.'

#7 However, after the emotional display fans started been speculating that ‘something must’ve happened before the show’

#8 Seeing as the star was half an hour late it may have simply been the stress of hurrying on stage, or maybe something more serious.

#9 Others on Twitter suggested they might have been tears of joy or that there may have been someone responsible for upsetting her.
