Rihanna full UK tour dates announced

Music superstar and Grammy Award winner Rihanna will be embarking upon a full UK arena tour in May 2010.

Having released her fourth studio album - one of the most hotly anticipated new albums in recent history- Rated R, Rihanna will be returning to the UK to wow fans nationwide with a full UK arena tour.

The long-awaited follow-up to her 2007 smash Good Girl Gone Bad which contained the non-stop string of hit singles that began with the MTV VMA and Grammy Award-winning global #1 hit "Umbrella" (featuring Jay-Z), then "Shut Up and Drive," "Hate That I Love You" (featur­ing Ne-Yo), and "Don't Stop the Music."

Rihanna also teamed up with Jay-Z on the first single off his latest album 'The Blue Print 3' (released in September this year via Roc Nation) which reached number 1 in the UK singles chart.
