Rihanna buys pizza for fans

Rihanna sent pizza and towels to fans that had been waiting in the rain to see her perform. The 'Kiss It Better' hitmaker sent her loyal supporters, that had been queuing all day outside Emirates Old Trafford Stadium in Manchester, north England, a much needed boost with 20 boxes of piping hot pizza, some even signed, and towels to dry off with. Daniel Reading, 24, who was one of the lucky recipients told the Manchester Evening News: "I was in the queue, and was one of the lucky fans to receive a signed pizza box from the queen of pop. We couldn't believe it. The pizza was only sent to our side of the queue. It was sent with a message from Rihanna, apologising for the weather." Whilst another fan wrote on Instagram: "Can't believe we've even queueing all day and the queen @badgalriri gave us pizza and towels to dry off #grateful #cute #rihanna (sic)" During her energetic set later that night, the 28-year-old singer wowed fans with a number of her biggest hits including 'Work', 'We Found Love' and 'Where Have You Been' whilst Drake also made a surprise appearance. And when Rihanna isn't busy touring, she is keen to focus her energies on inspiring young women. Speaking recently, she said: "Thank you so much for celebrating us in a world that doesn't celebrate us enough. The minute you learn to love yourself, you will not want to be anybody else. "Role model is not the title they like to give me ... but I think I can inspire a lot of young women to be themselves and that is half the battle. Hopefully one day I'll be raising my own little black girl who rocks."
