Rihanna Emerges from London Hotel After Falling Ill for Two Days, Ready for Relaxing New Year Barbados Getaway with Chris Brown
It looks like Rihanna's crazy 777 Tour has finally paid its toll on the Barbadian songstress - RiRi emerged from a London hotel room early Wednesday morning (Nov. 28) after falling ill (from exhaustion?) for two straight days. The 24-year-old pop princess told fans that she started feeling sick after her recent performance on the "X-Factor," where she was showered with artificial rain. She was bedridden for over 50 hours following the gig, and finally reemerged from her luxurious U.K. accommodations around 2:30 a.m., looking pale and fragile and chomping down on an orange. Rihanna definitely seems to need a relaxing, stress-free getaway - and it looks like she's planning on taking one to Barbados for the New Year holiday, alongside on-and-off again boyfriend Chris Brown.
RiRi was bundled up and trying to absorb some vitamin C when she finally emerged still looking somewhat weak from the London hotel on Wednesday (check out some pics here). While the "Diamonds" songstress was amped to see her newly released album "Unapologetic" hit the no 1 spot in the U.S., she didn't seem too thrilled over being sick or bedridden. She kept fans updated on Twitter throughout the ordeal:
@rihanna: "#UNAPOLOGETIC has debuted at number 1 here in the UK!!! Thank you guys for owning shit this week!! See you tonight on #Xfactor."
@rihanna: "I miss my pool!! This cold a## weather out here! I'm not made for dis!"
@rihanna: "I hate being sick!! I don't wanna do shit or talk to anybody right now!!! Can't even swallow, and that's no bueno!!"
@rihanna: "From dusk til dusk... Still can't get outta bed! Hating everything right now."
@rihanna: "This creep bi##h..."
@rihanna: "Wait!!!!! What the F##K?!!!! #UNAPOLOGETIC just debuted at #1 in AMERICA!!!!! My first number 1 album there!!! Thank you Navy, u deserve it."
@rihanna: "I'm legit crying like a pu##y right now!! #UNAPOLOGETIC."
Even through the illness, Rihanna managed to post a number of her infamous sexy and barely-clothed Instagram/Twitpics. She must be feeling somewhat better!
Following her chaotic 777 Tour, Rihanna admitted that she was pretty exhausted, but has no time to slow down. She recently told Nick Grimshaw on the Radio 1 Breakfast Show - "I'm a little sick right now but I'm not affected by it, I'm in a great mood - I'm getting a bit of a cold. It was fun. It was exhausting... it was definitely different doing your job but with 200 guests coming along with you - they want you to get drunk after the show. Most of the plane rides were two hours to four hours... I used my time wisely... I didn't party too hard. I had to save my voice - sometimes you wish you could give more."
The two days spent in a comfy London hotel bed may have just been what the songstress needed to recoup - "It's good to have some time to sleep you need it, as much as I like to push through it I am realizing it doesn't work in the long run because you get sick and your schedule's shot so if you pace it the right way... [After a tour I] just do nothing... It's really fun, we have a great time on tour, we do, but at the same time it's exhausting and it's exhausting for everyone."
And rumors have it that she plans on taking a relaxing trip back home to Barbados for the holidays... and Chris Brown will apparently join her. Reports claim RiRi hopes that Brown will be able to win back over the hearts of her close friends and fam (after their rather controversial breakup back in 2009). To prove he's a changed man, Rihanna already booked an exclusive, five-star villa for the two lovebirds to shack up in over the holiday. Can't wait to see the Twitter updates from that sexy vaca!
