Drake Cancels UK Tour

The star was due over for his first headline shows in the country this month but has now been forced to pull the dates because his mother is ill.

 

 

In a statement Drake said: “Despite my best hopes, it is apparent that my mother will need surgery earlier than anticipated.

 

“In light of this news, I have made the difficult decision to cancel my European tour in order to support her during her recovery, just as she supported me through the years. I cannot thank my European fans enough and look forward to performing abroad soon. I ask everyone to please respect my family's privacy during this time.”

 

The star released his debut album Thank Me Later last month. He was scheduled to perform at T In The Park, Oxegen and solo shows in London.
