SHE has become something of an enigma in the six years since she last released an album.

But Rihanna is finally gearing up to let fans see behind the curtain, signing a huge deal with Apple to document her return to the stage in 2023.

The Umbrella singer, who gave birth to a son this year, will perform the biggest single gig of her life on February 12 when she headlines American football’s Super Bowl half-time show.

And the cameras for her behind-the-scenes documentary will be there to capture it all.

A music insider said: “There is a massive appetite for everything to do with Rihanna, especially as this will be her major return to the stage for the first time in years. She will be recorded during rehearsals and meetings in the lead-up to the big night and give an insight into what her life is really like now she is returning to pop as a mum.

“Rihanna is a massive force to be reckoned with when it comes to music and so Apple has paid millions.

‘Pressure is immense’

“The Super Bowl is one of, if not the, biggest stages in the world, so her show was always going to be huge. Add on top of that it’s a live comeback and the pressure is immense.

“She is keen for the world to remember why she is one of the greatest performers of all time.”

The US sporting event will take place at the 63,000-capacity State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.

This year’s event saw Dr Dre, Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar, Eminem, Mary J Blige and 50 Cent all take to the stage.
