Rihanna has cancelled two upcoming UK stadium shows

Rihanna has cancelled two upcoming UK stadium shows due to "logistical" issues.

Promoter Live Nation confirmed the singer will no longer perform at the Cardiff Stadium on June 16 or Sunderland's Stadium of Light two days later.

In addition, a show at Coventry's Ricoh Arena has been moved from June 14 to June 25.

Fans with tickets for the two pulled shows have been told they can attend gigs in London, Coventry or Manchester instead, or get a refund.

Rihanna has also forced into cancelling an appearance at a Belgium festival this summer.

The singer was due to perform at Werchter Festival's Boutique event on July 21 as part of her Anti tour.

However, organisers today (February 19) confirmed that the show will not go ahead due to concerns over security resources.

A large of number of police in the area have to be in Brussels to attend the National Day parade, which will see royal family appear.

Also due to perform at the event were The Weeknd and Big Sean.

Rihanna has now plugged the gap in her schedule by announcing a show at Barcelona's Palau Sant Jordi on July 21.

She hasn't ditched her Belgium fans entirely, however, with the Barbados star confirming an appearance at the Pukkelpop festival in Hasselt on August 18.

It's been a week of scheduling difficulties for Rihanna, who had to cancel a performance at the Grammy Awards on Monday (February 15) due to vocal health.

She then postponed the first eight shows of her North America Anti tour as a result of production issues.
