Rihanna made her long-awaited live return on Monday night in front of thousands of screaming fans at London's Brixton Academy.
The Bajan singer, who releases new album Rated R on November 23rd, proved why she's one of the most talked-about artists in the world right now with an incredible live set that included her massive hits Take A Bow and Don't Stop The Music plus a re-worked version of Disturbia.
There was even a guest appearance from her mentor, rapper Jay-Z, who joined Ri Ri to perform their chart-topping collaborations Run This Town and Umbrella, all to a rapturous response from a very excited crowd.
Her dramatic performance of latest single, Russian Roulette, was the real highlight of the night though, with Rihanna giving a flawless vocal performance to rival any of the divas in the music scene today, while the stage - decorated with broken TV screens and mannequins - fit well with the edgier sound of the new album.
All in all, it was a great night out and, judging by the new tracks she performed, it looks like her new album is going to be amazing!
