Rihanna seems to be the hardest working lady in music at the moment – with a sold-out UK tour the singer is set to release her new album 'Talk That Talk' later this month.
Since her assault at the hands of former boyfriend Chris Brown in 2009, the singer has come back bigger and bolder than ever.
Love her or hate or – there is certainly no way you can ignore her (and those tiny stage outfits!)
