Rihanna concert in Phoenix rescheduled for production delays

A few of the earlier dates on the Rihanna Anti World Tour, including Phoenix, have been rescheduled due to production delays. The Talking Stick Resort Arena date, originally scheduled for Tuesday, March 1, has been moved to Sunday, May 1.

Travis Scott will be the special guest on all North American dates.

Tickets are still on sale at www.livenation.com.  Tickets from the originally scheduled March 1 show will be honored for new Phoenix date.

The Barbadian singer has been steaming up the pop charts since 2005, when her double-platinum debut, "Pon De Replay," peaked at No. 2 on Billboard's Hot 100. The following year, she topped that chart with "SOS." Her biggest hits include multiplatinum chart-toppers "Umbrella," "Take a Bow," "Disturbia," "Rude Boy," "Only Girl (In the World)," "What's My Name," "S&M," "We Found Love," "Diamonds" and "FourFiveSeconds."

The tour takes its name from Rihanna's latest album, which followed "Unapologetic" to the top of Billboard's album chart in early February and has already been certified platinum.
