Citing “some unforeseen changes with upcoming projects,” Live Nation have announced that The Weeknd, “will no longer be joining Rihanna on her upcoming international ‘ANTI’ World Tour.” No word yet on any possible replacements, but this still leaves Rihanna with Travi$ Scott and Big Sean as supporting acts.
