Rihanna Rushed to Hospital in Sweden

Rihanna has been sidelined by the flu in Sweden, and has had to cancel her Malmo, Sweden, concert to tend to her illness last night.

The singer was hooked up to an IV drip in a Swedish hospital, and according to her Live Nation rep said the performance was canceled because Rihanna wasn't "in condition to conduct the concert."

Rihanna apologized to her fans via Twitter, "Sorry Malmo!" attaching a picture of the IV in her arm as evidence of her sickness.

She also released a statement that said, "I am sorry to everyone who was coming out to my show in Malmo [Sweden]. I was so excited to perform for you all. It would have been a great time…so much better than being sick with the flu, ugh! I'm really disappointed I couldn't be there."

Last year the singer was also hospitalized in Europe before a show in Hirslanden, Switzerland. She was only there for three hours and was able to return for her performance later that night.

Rihanna recently came under fire for her new music video "We Found Love." In the video, along with many of Rihanna's other music videos are overly sexualized drawing heat from woman's groups, parents, and pastors.

"Rihanna's new video is a disgrace. It sends the message that she is an object to be possessed by men, which is disturbingly what we see in real violence cases," said Eileen Kelly of the Rape Crisis Center in England.

The point of the music video is to allegedly show how love can be like a drug, and does so using images driven by sex and drugs as Rihanna goes through the motions with a Chris Brown look-a-like.

The video could be interpreted as a loose re-creation of the relationship between Rihanna and Chris Brown before his physical assault on her that ended the romance.
