Rihanna Concert Cancelled Because of Brooklyn Nets Game 7, Performance Pushed to May 7th

May 03, 2013 02:17 AM EDT

Rihanna's Saturday concert has been pushed back as the Brooklyn Nets will head into Barclays Center, their home and face the Chicago Bulls in Game 7. Who's to blame for this? Well, the Bulls. 

Chicago had the chance to put the series away in Game 5 and then Game 6. However, the Nets pulled through and held their ground in both games as the Bulls couldn't play through injuries and sickness. On Thursday evening, the Nets took Game 6, 95-92. Their big three finished with 17 points each helping the Nets battle back after falling behind 1-3 in the series. 

So that means fans will have to wait a couple of days before they can belt their favorite Rihanna songs at the top of their lungs. When will the show be rescheduled? 

Here's the info:

Rihanna's Saturday concert of May, 4 will take place Tuesday, May 7 and it will take place at 8 p.m. ET. But what about Sunday's concert? Those fans are good. That concert will still be taking place at the same time. 

For those fans who are upset, if there is any comforting, the Nets and Bulls will hook up for the first Game 7 of this year's NBA Playoffs and it's a bit historic since the last Game 7 played in Brooklyn was between the Dodgers and New York Yankees. If you don't have anything to do, check out Stubhub.com for these tickets as the game will surely be electrifying.
