Rihanna upstaged by VIP fans?

R&B singer Rihanna is going to make fans part of the show during her upcoming Loud tour, with a special section of the stage built just for them, reports Teen Music.

"We’ve just designed the stage and we have a section that we are building… where the fans can actually be in the show and in the stage and be closer than they’ve ever been. It’s real VIP," the singer explained, refusing to go into more detail.

The tour begins June 4 in Baltimore and wraps up July 25 in Boston. In between it will take Rihanna all over North America this summer, before she kicks off her international tour in Europe this September.

The concert series is to promote her newest album, Loud, which was released last November and debuted at number three on the Billboard 200 chart. It has since gone platinum in the U.S. and twice platinum in Canada.

Rappers Cee Lo Green and J. Cole will join the R&B star on tour. "I’m excited to be heading out with Rihanna on the North American leg of her Loud Tour," J.Cole told AllHipHop.com.
