Rihanna took a moment after a recent show in Sweden to pay tribute to her late grandmother, who lost her battle with cancer. The singer was visibly shaken throughout her set and though many speculated that she was intoxicated during the show, the truth came to light via Twitter following her set.
The singer paid tribute to her grandmother Dolly via Twitter, writing, "Goodbye #grangranDOLLY get your beauty rest until I see you."
Fans and friends were quick to send their love and support to the "We Found Love" singer. One such supporter was Chris Brown's mother Joyce Hawkins:
"@rihanna ANGEL MAY GOD BE WITH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY IN YOUR TIME OF SORROW. LOVE YOU ANGEL."
Riri's ex also sent his love: "Praying for family and the lost loved one. She was like my grandmother. Love you GRAN GRAN! RIP."
