Rihanna, internationally successful recording artist, had to cut short a show in Dallas last night after fire broke out on the stage at the American Airlines Center. A video posted on Youtube shows a fire burning from the top of the stage, with some sparks falling to the ground.

Rihanna posted on Twitter shortly after the event “Dallas!!! We set the stage on FYAH tonight!!! LITERALLY!!!…I was havin so much fun wit yall too!!! I gotta come back man!!” She later continued, “Dallas yall CRAY!!! Love this f***n place! Glad u guys are safe!!! I promise I’ll be back!!! Heading into a production meeting to find out exactly what happened!!! Keep u posted.”

The fire was thought to have started as a result of a faulty row of lights in the rigging above the stage. The arena was evacuated and the fire brigade called in but the blaze was extinguished before they arrived. Some of the fans are asking for a refund, but it’s thought that it is more likely she will perform the show from scratch again at a later date.

The S&M superstar recently spoke to Cosmopolitan magazine on love and finding it again, “Men are like hunters, they like the chase, so you have to keep ‘em guessing,” Rihanna said. “I’m like that too. I get bored fast. So if someone can make me laugh, that’s the best.”

Rihanna likes her men “hot and hung”.

The’S&M’ singer – who has previously dated singer Chris Brown and been linked to Irish heartthrob Colin Farrell -revealed a large package is her main criteria in a man but says she is quite “spontaneous” in how she chooses a new love.

Asked by Cosmopolitan magazine how she likes her men, Rihanna replied: “Hot and hung, but sweet will do!

“I’m turned on to a guy by different things. It could be the way he looks. It could be his intelligence. It’s really a spontaneous thing.

Rihanna also revealed she has a male attitude to dating, explaining she loves the thrill of the chase but gets bored easily.

She added: “I’m open to love but guys should have to earn it because the minute they get it, they want something else. Men are like hunters; they like the chase. So you have to keep them guessing.

“Actually, I’m like that too. I get bored very quickly. So if someone can make me laugh, that’s the best.”

The Umbrella hitmaker, real name Robyn Rihanna Fenty, has two younger brothers from Ronald’s 14-year marriage to her mum Monica.

But now Ronald has confirmed that Rihanna is both a younger sister and an auntie after going public with his three other children, each by different mothers.

Rihanna’s eldest half-sister is 32-year-old Kandy, who first met the singer when she was just 15.

Kandy, who works as a pharmacy assistant in Rihanna’s native Barbados, insists her daughters Brandy, 14, and 11-year-old Crystal, are very proud of their aunt.

She tells Britain’s The Sun newspaper, “My girls thought she was great fun and now, of course, they love the fact their auntie is one of the most famous singers in the world. They love her music and are always singing her songs at the top of their voices.”

Ronald also reveals that Rihanna has a 30-year-old half-sister, Samantha, as well as a 27-year-old half-brother Jamie.
