Pop Star Rihanna Sings Umbrella Under Pouring Rain in Sofia

  January 8th, 2008

About 30 000 fans gathered at Alexander Batenberg Square Friday night under pouring rain for the concert of pop princess Rihanna. The superstar sang her top hit Umbrella together with all the exalted fans trying to find some cover in the shower. Rihanna also performed her hits Pon De Replay, S.O.S, Good Girl Gone Bad, Unfaithful, Don’t stop the music, and Shut Up.

The show in Sofia was a part of the European tour of the star, promoting her album Good Girl Gone Bad. The event at Batenberg square was entry-free, organized by Bulgaria’s third mobile operator Vivatel. Rihanna was accompanied by a team of 37 people, and protected by more than 300 guards during her stay in Bulgaria.

The 19-year-old star made her big break-through at the age of 15 when one of her friends introduced her to music producer Evan Rogers, who was vacationing in singer’s home Barbados. Currently, the singer is working with great stars such as Justin Timberlake and the hit producer Timbaland.
