London - Rihanna has banned umbrellas from her UK tour.
The 20-year-old star has insisted the item be confiscated from fans, in case they injure themselves trying to copy the dance routine to her hit song Umbrella .
Andy McDonald, a security guard at the Aberdeen Exhibition Centre, where Rihanna performed on Monday, said: "We were taking precautions over a potential accident. We were told Rihanna's song features dancing with umbrellas on stage. We didn't want the crowd following her actions and someone getting their eye poked out."
The decision follows reports of several injuries caused by umbrella-related incidents during Rihanna's recent European dates.
Her final UK date will be at London's O2 arena on Friday evening. Bang Showbiz.com
