*Rihanna has announced that the start of her anticipated “Anti” tour has been pushed back due to “production delays,” but the streets are looking at what led up to the postponement and believe that low ticket sales are the real cause.
The tour was originally set to kick off next week. Now, it won’t begin until March, a move that follows several delays of her album release date, its leak on Tidal, and pulling out of her Grammy performance at the 11th hour due to “bronchitis.”
Additionally, Riri has outright cancelled some of her U.K. dates, according to the BBC: “Sunderland’s Stadium of Light and Cardiff’s Principality Stadium both been pulled from the Anti tour. But her Coventry date at Ricoh Arena will still go ahead although it has been rescheduled from 14 June to 25 June.”
