Bajan pop diva Rihanna nearly failed to continue breathing last night in Australia. The Umbrella singer collapsed on stage near the end of her show inside the “a/c deprived” Sydney venue, Acer Arena. Watch her faint and hit the deck around the 30 second mark in the video below, captured by a fan.
“It was very hot at the venue, so after Rihanna’s set was over, she went off stage to sit down, catch her breath and have some water,” her rep tells E! News. “She is perfectly healthy and will be at her show tomorrow.”
The incident took place shortly after the chart topper finished her final performance of the night, “Umbrella,” with beau Chris Brown. In video footage taken of the concert, Rihanna is seen slightly hunched over and leaving the stage after finishing her last verse—but before the end of the song.
