Rihanna has laryngitis, which means she had to postpone her Sunday night performance at the TD Garden. The singer, whose latest album is “Unapologetic,” tweeted rather apologetically on Sunday, “#BOSTON this is the hardest thing for me to deal with! I feel like we’ve been waiting on this day forever, and I’m hurt that I let you down,” adding, “I’m so embarrassed about this! Thank you for your prayers and well wishes!” Live Nation said Rihanna was expected to resume her tour in Baltimore on Tuesday. No word on when she’ll return to Boston, but Live Nation says that “Boston fans are instructed to retain their tickets pending rescheduling show date information.”
