This afternoon, Rihanna was in Paris at a press conference about her upcoming tour in France. When she arrived at the hotel that the conference took place (3 hours late), she thanked the french fans, who support her since the beggining of her career:

“The French like to party, just like me.”

Rihanna didn’t want to reveal many details about the tour, but she said it will be divided into several thematic segments, she said:

“You’re not going to be bored.”

On stage, Rihanna will be surrounded by backup singers. The singer said that playing with a real group is essential. If she had to choose, she’d prefer to sing without dancers than without backup singers. Regarding costumes, the choice of the creator is not finalized yet.

“We have several names in mind … I really like Alexander Wang, we may be working with him.”

Hopefully we will have the video soon. Click the image to view the pictures.
