While performing her hit single “What’s My Name,” in Lisbon over the weekend, 23-year-old Rihanna forgot the lyrics to her own song, and slurred some of her words. At about the 1:32 mark, Rihanna gestured to someone in the audience indicating that she was about to hurl.

Later that night, Rihanna took to her Twitter page and admitted that she did indeed throw up the contents of her stomach offstage,
We broke the story months ago that Rihanna’s record label was concerned about Rihanna’s drinking and rumored substance abuse problems. Sources say Rihanna has been on and off the wagon in the past month as she deals with her personal issues, including chasing after a man who is already in a long term relationship.
