Rihanna cancels Indonesia concert

R&B star Rihanna has cancelled a concert in Jakarta due to be held on Thursday, show organisers have said.Tour promoter Showmaster said the singer pulled out "because of an assault case involving Rihanna's boyfriend" - the singer Chris Brown. The 20-year-old pulled a performance at the Grammys and another show in Malaysia on Tuesday.

Brown, 19, was arrested and charged on Sunday with making criminal threats. He was released on $50,000 (£35,000) bail.

It is the second time Rihanna has cancelled a concert in the Indonesian capital - she pulled out of a show in November last year after the Australian government issued a travel warning following the executions of the three men convicted of the 2002 Bali bombings.

Concert promoter Troy Reza Warokka told AFP he spoke with the star's management to confirm the cancellation.
