Rihanna has cancelled her performance at the 2016 Grammys and tweeted to her fans regarding this today.

"#NAVY so sorry I couldn't be there ..... Thanks Grammys and CBS for your support tonight."

E! News reported, "Based on Rihanna's examination, after Grammy rehearsal today, Rihanna's doctor put her on vocal rest for 48-hours because she was at risk of hemorrhaging her vocal chords. The antibiotics she has been on for 3-days did not kill the infection adequately therefore she cannot perform safely."

It has been known from different sources that she arrived for rehearsals but decided to cancel at the last minute.

E! Entertainment Television reports quoting TMZ  that the singer has been dealing with bronchitis, and that a doctor recommended her not to follow through scheduled performance.

Despite being affected by bronchitis, RiRi was recently spotted at the same NYC nightclub as Leonardo DiCaprio.
