Rihanna To Showcase New Album During Live London Webcast

Rihanna is to preview her new album a week ahead of its release during a live global webcast, it's been announced.

The gig will take place at an undisclosed location in London on November 16.

Rihanna said she was both excited and nervous about playing tracks from 'Rated R' to “millions of people across the world”.

“There's no better way to launch an album,” she added.

The webcast will mark Rihanna's first full gig since she was assaulted by former boyfriend Chris Brown in February.

The singer spoke about the incident for the first time this week during a round of US TV interviews.
