The Umbrella hitmaker Rihanna will perform a number of her own tracks before taking to the stage with Coldplay to perform their collaboration Princess Of China to mark the end of the sporting event 2012 Paralympics on September 9, reported Daily Star online.

“All the Closing Ceremony details are top secret but Rihanna has already started rehearsing.

As soon as Coldplay signed up she was the obvious choice to accompany them on stage,” a source says.

The Ceremony, called ‘Festival of Flame’, will see Coldplay (and Rihanna) perform a live, one-off concert in the Olympic Stadium, broadcast to an estimated potential worldwide audience of 750 million.
