All that touring and recording (and promoting) album after album is catching up with Rihanna. Video has emerged of the pop star in concert, cutting a performance short to run backstage to vomit.

You can check it out above – pay close attention at the 1.30 and 1.50 mark.

For weeks now, there has been a lot of speculation on whether Rihanna isn't pushing it with her grueling work schedule.

At the 2011 Jingle Bell Ball, earlier this month, for instance, it became clear that she was no longer the same energetic performer as always.

The latest video will only strengthen this impression: you can see she's totally not into it and that she needs some time off.

“yep! i ran off stage to throw up, halfway thru Whats My Name…made it back juuuust in time for RudeBoy” Rihanna said on Twitter, after the show.
