Andrew Lloyd Webber says he discovered Rihanna over ten years agoAndrew Lloyd Webber says he saw Rihanna performing in her home country of Barbados 12 years ago, but failed to act on his discovery. The musical theatre mogul told Good Morning Britain on Tuesday (December 13) that he saw the global star sing at a hotel when she was an unknown teenager. However, while he considered reaching out to her, the Brit didn't take things any further. He said: "I saw her singing karaoke in Sandy Lane hotel in Barbados 12 years ago. I turned to my friend and said, 'She's very good'. I wondered if we brought her back, it might be like a picture you buy on holiday and then you get home and think, why did I buy that?" Andrew Lloyd Webber added that he is "not proud" of failing to capitalise on seemingly discovering Rihanna, who then went on to become a global superstar.
