On-Stage Fire Forces Rihanna to Pack Up Early In Dallas (Video)

R&B superstar Rihanna was forced to cut her concert in Dallas short after the stage caught fire. The show was taking place at the American Airlines Center- the home of NBA franchise Dallas Mavericks.

Soon after the incident, a clip was posted on video-sharing website YouTube.com, which showed the top of the stage engulfed in fire and the audience rushing out of the arena.

As expected, Rihanna had something to say over the matter and she immediately logged in on social networking website Twitter to interact with her fans.

The ‘Man Down’ crooner tweeted, “DALLAS!!! We set the stage on FYAH tonight!!! LITERALLY!!! I’m so (mad), I was havin so much fun wit yall too!!! I gotta come back man!!”

According to the members of audience, the accident was caused by a fault in the pyrotechnics.

Dallas Fire-Rescue Captain Johnny Bates said that apart from some chairs catching fire, no other loss or injuries were observed.

Bates told KTVT, “One of our engine crews did enter the building but crew members with the AAC or concert put out the initial fire.”

Rihanna wasn’t content with the incomplete show and promised her fans to perform in front of them in the future. She tweeted, Glad u guys are safe!!! I promise I’ll be back!!!”

And she isn’t going to just let the accident slip by either. In her next message the fiery Barbadian wrote, “Heading into a production meeting to find out exactly what happened!!! Keep u posted”
