Rihanna was the surprise guest during Eminem's Lollapalooza set last night (1 August), during which the two performed 'Stan', 'The Monster' and 'Love The Way You Lie.' Watch their performances below.

The pair are set to kick off their joint US stadium tour next week, which kicks off in Los Angeles on 7 August. Sadly though, they won't be making it across the pond to the UK.

As a warm-up for the joint tour, Rihanna suprised fans by turning up for Eminem's headline set at Lollapalooza, where not only did they perform their previously released duets, but Rihanna also filled in for Dido on 'Stan'.

The song, which was first released in 1999, samples the opening line of Dido's 'Thank You' as its chorus. The British singer also appears in the song's video, but, aside from a surprise appearance at Reading + Leeds in 2013, they rarely perform it live together.

Rihanna first collaborated with Eminem on huge hit 'Love The Way You Lie' in 2010, and again in 2013 on 'The Monster' for the rapper's latest album The Marshall Mathers LP2.

Rihanna's seventh album, Unapologetic, was released in 2012.
