Rihanna
In 2011, Rihanna was hospitalized right after completing album Talk That Talk. "One morning I woke up and started crying so hard," Rihanna recalls in a documentary interview about coming down with the flu the day after she finished recording. "I finally just got to my bed from the IV [drip] and I was just like, 'Good I can actually get to sleep tonight,' because we stayed up [all night] and I finished [the album] at 5 p.m. the day before. So now, I'm like, 'One good night of rest.' I get in bed, and it must have been two hours in before my phone started going off."
"I was so frustrated I kept ignoring the phone," she says. "Every time it would go off, but every time I would ignore it. But it would be another burden on my shoulders, 'cause I know it has to get done. I was so angry, I was so overwhelmed that I was sick. It felt crazy."
Finally, she let it all go: "I started crying. I cried for 10 minutes really, really hard in my pillow. It was aggressive. I don't cry loads. If I cry it's because I'm very angry and I can't do anything about it, because I've run into a dead end. That's when the tears would come down. But this time I needed to hear it. I almost wanted to punch somebody."
