I’m so glad Rihanna is returning to the stage after a six-month layoff.
Rihanna hasn’t performed publicly since cancelling her Grammy Awards performance after a brutal beating the night before in a scuffle with her now ex-boyfriend Chris Brown. Because her bruises were so gruesome, she also cancelled her tour.
But the Barbadian beauty has slowly eased back into performing in the last few months by having a leading role in Kanye West’s “Paranoid” video and lending her voice to Jay-Z’s new hit “Run This Town” that also features Kanye West.

Rihanna is taking an even bolder step by agreeing to join her “big brothers” Jay-Z and Kanye West to perform “Run This Town” on The Jay Leno Show on Sept. 14. On Thursday, the “Run This Town” video was officially released on MTV.

Meanwhile, Chris Brown appears in court on Aug. 27 to reveal his plan for court-ordered 1,400 community labor hours for pleading guilty to assaulting Rihanna.
