Rihanna has promised her UK fans she will be fine to play despite her rib injury.

The 'Russian Roulette' singer damaged her side during a recent show in Zurich, Switzerland, but she is feeling good and her ribs are on the mend.

She told the London Evening Standard newspaper: "I've had a few injuries, and one thing made another worse.

"Eventually, I had to have it checked out. My ribs are still hurting, but I will be raring to go by London."

Rihanna, 21, was originally treated for the ailment at the Hirslanden private clinic.

The 21-year-old pop star is currently in Paris, France, on her 'Last Girl on Earth' tour and is then heading to Germany for a second bout of concerts in the country.

She then travels to Luxemburg before flying over to the UK and Ireland for a number of dates.

Rihanna's tour is her most ambitious yet and features a number of costume changes and rigorous dance routines.

She said: "We've never done a tour to this capacity. The production is unbelievable and so are the costumes, we just took it to a whole new level. We just keep growing."
