MUSIC fans have vented their anger on social media after US singer Rihanna took to the Adelaide Entertainment Centre stage a full hour and twenty minutes late last night.
The Barbadian singer was due on stage at 9pm after flying in from Perth where she was 40 minutes late for her show there on Tuesday.
She finally appeared an hour and twenty minutes late and when the lights finally went down, instead of cheers, there was booing
And while the superstar singer remarked that it had taken her a long, long time to get back to Australia, there was no explanation or apology for her tardy arrival.
"Left concert without seeing her and she was over an hour and a half late,” she wrote.
Another tweeter, Tessa Mortiz, wrote; “Thanks for a disappointing show last night... as if Adelaide doesn’t suck enough already. #igotdressedforthat #late”.
As the minutes ticked by the large crowd made its own fun, engaging in a dance off and trying to pull off a Mexican wave - but it seemed nothing could bring Rihanna to the stage.
And then when the singer’s absence surpassed an hour the spirited crowd decided if you can’t beat them, join them — the masses started jumping from their seats turning the planned pop concert into a dance concert.
Men stripped off their shirts, women gyrated and all laughed along as the action started to be beamed into the big screens — and still Rihanna was nowhere to be seen.
When she finally took to stage, Rihanna did her best to make up for lost time.
