#RihannaNavyBarbados went cray yesterday afternoon upon learning that RihRih had to postpone the Barbados leg of The Diamonds World Tour. According to a press release by tour promoters, Live Nation World Touring, the concert, which was carded for Nov 1st, will be postponed until NEXT YEAR. The press release stated that the postponement was due to “technical difficulties associated with the transport of equipment.” uuhhhhh…. ok? If you ask me, I think they could have come up with something better.
Doh say I say, but a lil birdie told me that a good bit of “said” equipment has already passed through the port… I’ve also been hearing that ticket sales weren’t going too well… so, what’s the real deal here?

One really has to wonder if there’s any connection between the postponement of Robyn’s concert and the fact that the Barbados Light and Power had to take a trip down Kensington last week to cut off the electricity due to an unpaid utility bill of $400,000. Reports show that the average monthly bill of the Oval is about $60,000 and the bill had not been paid in months. I dunno about yall, but I starting to put 2 and 2 together and I getting 4.
Regardless of what the reason is (cause to be honest, we ain’t buying yuh cover story live nation!), the press release stated that refunds may be obtained between Wednesday October 30th through Saturday, November 1st at the Lloyd Erskine Sandiford Centre. To return tickets bought using ticketmaster.com, you can call 1 (800) 745-3000 to have your ticket cancelled. They’ve also given ticket holders the option of holding their ticket until the next concert (of no date thus far) to gain entry.
Meanwhile, I would have expected at least a tweet from Rih apologizing or at least saying something regarding the postponement in her homeland, of ALL the places, but so far she seems to still be enjoying herself at the other world tour locations, instagramming pics with as many zoo animals as she can from all over the world… :/
