AN EXHAUSTED Rihanna has nearly cancelled a concert after suffering a meltdown under the stress of her mega world tour.
The 23-year-old singer, from Barbados, threw the tantrum just hours before she was due on stage in Dublin last Friday, The Sun reported.
She only decided to perform after making a tearful phone call to her mentor Beyonce, who was able to talk her around.
Rihanna went ahead with the concert as planned and wrote online afterward, "I'm so light-headed!"
The star is suffering from exhaustion amid the stress of her gruelling 10-month, 101-date tour.
"She's just a young woman who just wants to have fun, but she was feeling pretty low," a source said.
"It's a mix of exhaustion and stress. She's been partying hard to take her mind off things, but there are days when she wakes up and doesn't even know where she is because of the travelling.
?It's no wonder she is feeling down."
Beyonce, 30, advised Rihanna to complete her tour commitments and then take a year off to relax.
The Crazy In Love diva took a break in 2009 to spend time with hubby Jay-Z. The source added, "She knows Rihanna needs downtime, or she'll burn out."
Rihanna has 16 more dates to fulfil as part of her Loud tour. Seven are in the UK.
Before calling Beyonce, the singer spent the afternoon in a Dublin bar, where she threw a private Thanksgiving feast for her band. Onlookers said that Rihanna downed Guinness.
