Rihanna Concert in Dallas Cut Short After Stage Fire [VIDEO]

Just gonna stand there and watch us burn Rihanna? 

Her concert Friday night in Dallas was hot, in more ways than one.  A fire started above the stage at the American Airlines Center after Rihanna finished singing the song "California King Bed" -- which included some pyro for special effects -- and then left the stage for a costume change.  12,500 fans were evacuated from the arena.  The show had already begun an hour late, because bad rainstorms had delayed Rihanna's arrival in Dallas from New York. She still had about seven songs left to perform.  So I guess you should have gone to the Houston show for the full concert!

Rihanna tweeted, "DALLAS!!! We set the stage on FYAH TONIGHT!!! LITERALLY.  I was havin so much fun wit yall too!!! I gotta come back man!!"  She added, "Glad u guys are safe!!  I promise I'll be back!!!"
