"Rihanna has previewed the staging for her upcoming &amp;#039;Diamonds&amp;#039; world tour. The worldwide run will start in North America at the end of this week, before landing in the UK on June 10.      A new behind-the-scenes video sees Rihanna&amp;#039;s production assistant explaining that the set has taken &amp;quot;close to eight million hours&amp;quot; to make so far, and they have &amp;quot;three million more hours to go&amp;quot;. A design crew have been building the stage since late 2012, with the physical set having been in construction for five weeks already.  &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;re gonna have 58 touring crew, which is the biggest tour Rihanna&amp;#039;s ever done,&amp;quot; the star&amp;#039;s production manager Joe Sanchez said. &amp;quot;This is definitely a bigger show; it&amp;#039;s a more complex show, absolutely. There&amp;#039;s a lot of flown innovative elements that have never really been done before.&amp;quot; Rihanna has also released video footage of herself rehearsing &amp;quot;stripper&amp;quot; choreography for a performance of &amp;#039;Pour It Up&amp;#039; during the show.
