    The singer has been letting her hair down following the funeral of her grandmother

    Rihanna probably deserves a holiday more than anyone else; she's been working like a dog, partying and she's had to deal with the death of her beloved grandmother, so it's great to see the star kicking back for the first time in months.

    The singer, 24, is currently lapping up the sunshine aboard a luxury yacht off the coast of Sardinia, Italy.

    Joined by two girl pals, Rihanna didn't waste any time posing for the camera in her bikini and posting the snaps on her Twitter page.

    It's been reported that Drake is to meet up with Rihanna on the yacht next week when it reaches the French Riviera.

    A source told The Sun: 'Rihanna is determined to live life to the full following her grandma's death and decided to give it another go with Drake. In the past he'd moan that she wouldn't commit and was working all the time. But she's up for trying again. They're meeting up on a plush yacht in Cannes next week and will then spend a week cruising around the Med.'

    The source added: 'Rihanna wants to travel down through Italy and go to the most romantic places she's seen online. It's just what she needs after an incredibly tough few months - however, they also know how to party. They'll be joined on the yacht by a few friends, who plan to sink a lot of champagne on the trip.'

    The rumours are bound to nark Rihanna's ex, Chris Brown, who was hit in the face by a bottle during a fight at New York's W.i.P. club last month, which started over a misunderstanding with his and Drake's entourages.
