Rihanna Faints, Rushed To Paramedics

Rihanna Faints, Rushed To Paramedics

Rihanna passed out on stage during her concert earlier today (November 7th) at the Acer Arena in Sydney, Australia.

Here’s how it went down: The 20-year-old Bajan beauty was performing her smash hit “Umbrella”, the last song of her concert. She had just come down from flying around on a harness. Beau Chris Brown joined her on stage for the final performance of the night. Rihanna was then seen hunching over and signaling that she wasn’t feeling well. Rihanna then ran off stage, where paramedics rushed to her side. Chris continued to finish singing the song and then rushed backstage to Rihanna’s side.

The concert ended without any mention of what exactly happened. Watch the video footage below! Let’s hope that Rihanna is stable now and on the road to a speedy recovery. Get well soon, RiRi!!!

UPDATE: “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,” her rep tells E!. “She is perfectly healthy and will be at her show tomorrow.”

my thoughts are with her.get well soon

This is what happens when you have a bad contract. Her label is working her to death.

She prob couldnt breathe in that corset!

Is that a recent photo of Rihanna? She looks like she’s aged 20 years. No wonder she fainted. I bet she’s exhausted!

She was holding her stomach like she was in pain.

I hope she is ok.

The girl often says she skips meals in order to be skinny. Well, that’s what happens when you don’t eat. I dont know if its because of that, but if it is…she needs help and some rest.

i read that that vertigo disease janet has can be caused when you are afraid of heights but do it anyway. she was just released from a harness they said and nausea is one of the symptoms. stay on the ground babe.

get well soon rihanna!

imma see you on nov 16!

@ WOW - WTH you the shut the f*ck up ! Chris Brown don’t want your stupid a** so there’s no reason to be mad at her. She doesn’t look doesn’t look old stupid - it’s the cheap video. Get a life ! We are praying for you Rihanna

Is that really Rihanna? The girl is only 20 and she already looks like she’s 40+. She’s working herself too hard. Hope she takes a break.

LMAO
get a break will you? i hope she learns her lesson. she is working WAYYYYYY too hard

Aren’t you getting tired the same way we are getting tired from you?

I was there! I didn’t notice at all but people were talking about it afterwards. :( I hope she’s ok

RIHANNA I LOVE YOU!!!

RIHANNA I LOVE YOU FOREVER!!!

Get well soon and take a break. REST.

[☆I n F a m o u s☆] @ 11/07/2008 at 11:10 am

she’s been working way to hard.

that’s what happens when you’re number 1. she needs to slow it down and give some of the other female artist a chance.

She’s not pregnant and she’s not starving herself, her corset was simply to tight. She probbaly couldn’t breathe. She’ll be fine.

enoughalready @ 11/07/2008 at 11:30 am

@WOW, there is a time an place for stuff like that and this is not one of them..We dont wish ill on anyone. Maybe the thing was too tight and hurt one of her ribs.

Get well soon!!!

For a twenty year old who has to work extra hard, her schedule is off the hook!!!

Purplerose @ 11/07/2008 at 11:33 am

I hope she is ok and for WOW your comment is disgusting that you could say such a thing….jealousy is a terrible thing aint it ppl so get over it, and hello everyone….just coz she is almost spewing or watever dont mean that she is pregnant, gee i think all you are wishing she was to chris brown, like wat others have also said, working her self into ground etc, not eating, but who cares lets just hope she is alright and show her our AUSSIE SUPPORT !!!!!

enoughalready @ 11/07/2008 at 11:49 am

Hate to be the barrier of bad news but it was said the corset was too tight. Also one of the concert goers reported on another Rihanna site that the show was not good anyway. You know a typical Rihanna show..

The best part was the Umbrella song..

But this flying in the air stuff is way too much, and she really is working to hard.

Speedy recovery any way!!!

OHh ****!!!…TOTALLY PREGNANT!!!!!!!!

give me Sinatra! @ 11/07/2008 at 2:25 pm

Why do these “celebrities” get paid so much to lip-sync? More importantly…why do the public spend money to see this? A bit strange that her song continued while she was on the ground passed out.

anonymous @ 11/07/2008 at 2:31 pm

Hey….Diarrheanna….youre not Madonna!

enoughalready @ 11/07/2008 at 3:20 pm

@39 you just finding that out, she been doing that since Umbrella first came out..

And she has not stopped!!!

warren buffet @ 11/07/2008 at 4:29 pm

**** u riri, i dont give a ****
i do think her label is really working her hard
what it is, like an album and a tour every year, i swear

she’s always wearing corsets and cutting off her circulation, which causes fainting

i hope she is ok !! i <3 her becouse she is the best!!! but she is doing so hard that she must take a break
chris and riri 4 ever

OMG guys. Stop saying that she looks like a 40 year old. Hollywood puts a lot of pressure on young stars. she’s probably tired to death. and don’t go bashing on her looks! she’s gorgeous. and talented. so shut the f*** up.. kay? hope she gets well soon!

She’s not pregnant and she’s not starving herself, her corset was simply to tight. She probbaly couldn’t breathe. She’ll be fine.

CHRIS BROWN ROX.

THAT WAS THE BEST CONCERT EVER!!!!

BB girl needs to take a break, rest up Riri and get well soon!

lmao @ #48 thats a classic and first off nobody told her ass 2 wear a corset dats her fault, i would never want to b a singer and she cnt sing anyways. im not hating its just da facts and she looks lyk a clown wit dat makeup

Suzie Hardy @ 11/07/2008 at 11:22 pm

I was at the concert and it was very sacary to see i hope see gets better soon, her concert was amazing she did a great job.
x0×0x0×0

my friend was at the concert and apparently rhianna looked like she was high on something…not saying thats the reason she felt sick, but he just said she looked off

danggg she just looks uglier with every picture i see her in.

there was rumours that she was lipsyncing because when she stopped singing her voice continued to play in the song… but this is not true because a) it was just the backing track playing to accompany chris and b) i saw her concert in melbs and she defs was not lip syncing!!

She was sick the entire concert. Every time she went off stage the medics met her. The last time when she ran off she passed out before they got to her.

ok to settle the whoel 40 yr old thing.. i was at the concert tonight.. (the one after the night she rushed backstage) and she looked beautiful. looks just liek the does in the magazines, the glamour shots, the videos, everything. its just the ****** quality on the video! they are both GORGeOUS! too bad the performances were ****.

omg that pic is of rihannah on ‘This Morning’ with fern and phil lol!

Pineapple Andy Kaid @ 11/10/2008 at 9:57 am

Does anyone know what brand eye makeup she uses? I would look absolutely divine in that color.

Notice how she´s holding her stomach. Wow, she looks like she´s about to vommit all her lunch. Poor Riri… I wouldn´t cope with that so easily.
Pregmnant, perhaps… from Chris! That would be super.
Just joking. Get well soon!

omg chris is a *******. he spent the time to finish the song instead of being by Rianna’s side. what a loser

i hope chris didnt get you pregnant. feel better soon XP

ASt. Johns ambulance treated here, the actual reason was due to the strapping that carried here around the stage caused her to become disorientated and light headed - Hence losing her breath, so she eventually passed out. The strapping around her chest was cut off by St. Johns Ambo’s and she was good.

Yes, i have a source at St. Johns.
