Rihanna thanked her “crazy” fans at the BBC Hackney Weekend for making it “such a memorable show” yesterday.
The US singer brought the two-day festival on Hackney Marshes to a close with fireworks and a special appearance from her musical mentor Jay-Z.
The rapper joined her for three songs, including Umbrella, after Rihanna sung during his headline set on Saturday.
The 24-year-old’s first song of the night was Only Girl In The World and she closed the concert with smash-hit single We Found Love on a stage backed by a giant sphinx.
Rihanna said: “Hackney, you guys are crazier than they told me.”
She got up close with the audience during her performance, even asking one fan to help re-attach her battery pack to her bra.
Barclays has extended its free bike checks to another three boroughs to celebrate Bike Week and so riders can stay safe on London’s roads.
