Rihanna has certainly tested the patience of her fans, teasing new music for nearly a decade without delivering any concrete details. However, a recent report from the UK outlet The Sun claims to have the inside scoop on the pop superstar’s upcoming plans. According to the outlet, Rihanna is "on the cusp" of releasing her long-awaited ninth album, followed by a world tour in 2025.

The report comes from The Sun journalist Jason Hardwick, who claims to have insider information from Rihanna’s camp. He assured fans that Rihanna is planning a major return to the spotlight, stating, "Rihanna’s ninth album is finally on the verge of being released." If these claims are accurate, the news only gets more exciting.


Hardwick added that Rihanna is also in discussions for a massive world tour in 2025, which could mark one of the biggest comebacks in music history. Additionally, the outlet suggests that Rihanna may headline Glastonbury, keeping the momentum from her tour going strong.

Rihanna was reportedly set to headline Glastonbury in 2023 but had to cancel due to her second pregnancy. Hardwick mentioned, "I understand she is once again at the top of Glastonbury’s list to headline next summer’s event." Of course, only time will tell if these claims come to fruition.


Rihanna has been extremely private about her album rollout. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, she revealed that it took some time to find her groove in the studio again. "Music, for me, is a new discovery," she said. "I’ve been working on the album for so long that I put all that aside. Now I’m ready to get back in the studio."

While it was exciting to hear that Rihanna was back in the studio, fans were disappointed in June when she revealed she was starting the album from scratch. She explained that she wanted to improve on what she had already recorded, saying, "I’m starting over, but I don’t want to neglect the songs I already have. I want to listen to everything with fresh ears, from my new perspective, and see what resonates with me." With her partner ASAP Rocky set to make his comeback in August, fans are hopeful that Rihanna will follow suit soon.
