Organisers say Rihanna has been forced to cancel a show in Sweden due to exhaustion for a second time this week.

Live Nation spokesman Kristofer Akesson said the singer felt ill ahead of her concert in Stockholm on Wednesday night and that she decided in consultation with a doctor to cancel the show about an hour before she was to go on stage.

Akesson says Rihanna "is exhausted and doesn't feel well," but could not give more details.

A statement said: "Unfortunately, we need to report that the concert with Rihanna tonight at the Ericsson Globe [venue] has been cancelled due to illness.

"Rihanna is exhausted and sick. Unfortunately we have once again been forced to make a difficult decision at the last minute."

The 23-year-old pop star was later transported from the hospital to her hotel, accompanied by two minders, wrapped in a big grey wool coat and looking withdrawn.

The singer called off a concert in Malmo in southern Sweden, but was able to perform the following night in Stockholm.

Organizers are trying to arrange new dates for the shows.
