Rihanna visits school three hours late
Press Trust of India Los Angeles Pop sensation Rihanna kept the students at Barrington High School in Illinois waiting for more than three hours for a mere 15 minutes appearance.
The 25-year-old took a break from her North American tour to visit students who had raised money for those affected by the Tornado of May, 2012. But she kept the children waiting for long as she stated she was stuck in traffic.
"This Chicago traffic is not working (sic)," she had tweeted while on her way to the venue.
Local official Jeff Arnett also considered nearly cancelling the event when Rihanna failed to turn up, reported TMZ Online.
"After she was 90 minutes late then two hours behind schedule, there was a time we wondered if the event would actually happen. But because her staff members were also waiting with us, we felt she was ultimately going to get there," Arnett said.
She eventually made it to the school where she briefly spoke to the kids, posed for pictures and gave away tour tickets.
