Rihanna is reportedly planning on taking a sabbatical from the music industry, taking a year off before recording her eighth studio album.

The claim was made by Ryan Seacrest on his morning radio show in the US - with the American Idol host claiming that RiRi wants to calm things down after her current Diamonds world tour.

Seacrest said: "She's been in this go mode for a while. Seven hit records in seven years.

"Sold-out tours, but sources say after this tour wraps, she plans to take up to a year off to unwind."

Her world tour started in the US last night and will arrive in the UK in June.

Shes so generous, giving the competition a chance to shine before her 2015 comeback :')



but in all seriousness, I think this is probably best for her, shes been working non stop for years now so hopefully she'll take the time off to either start a family or decide on which direction she wants to take her career. and seen as people are getting tired of seeing her non-stop, even if she just takes 1 year off, its still more than shes ever done before.

Rihanna: Greatest Hits will probably be hitting shelves in November.
