Rihanna has insisted that umbrellas be confiscated from fans in case they injure themselves whilst trying to copy the dance routine to her hit song 'Umbrella' and the decision follows reports of several injuries caused by umbrella related incidents during Rihanna's recent European dates.

One fan who is due to attend one of the singer's upcoming shows said, "I was really looking forward to whipping out my umbrella during the song. I have been practicing the routine for weeks but it has all been for nothing".
