Rihanna Cancels Grammy Performance Due To Illness

The show didn't go on for Rihanna.

The singer pulled out of her scheduled performance at Monday’s Grammy awards due to bronchitis.

"So sorry I couldn't be there...Thanks Grammys and CBS for your support tonight," the singer tweeted to her 56.1 million followers.

RiRi showed up to the Staple’s Center in Los Angeles for rehearsals, but did not walk the red carpet. Her condition was so bad she feared she could permanently damage her vocal cords and decided against taking the stage.

"Rihanna's doctor put her on vocal rest for 48-hours because she was at risk of hemorrhaging her vocal chords. The antibiotics she has been on for three days did not kill the infection adequately therefore she cannot perform safely," the singer's rep told the Daily News in a statement.

Rihanna sang at a pre-Grammy tribute to Lionel Richie on Saturday night belting his hit "Say you, Say Me" despite being ill. The star was slated to sing "Kiss It Better" -- a song about wanting a former lover back -- off her latest album "Anti" at the Grammys.

It's the second time the R&B superstar, who won her first Grammy in 2007 for her hit single "Umbrella," canceled an appearance at the award show. In 2009, she was scheduled to perform but pulled out after then boyfriend Chris Brown allegedly assaulted her.
