Young Money's Drake is reportedly going to leave fans hanging at this upcoming weekend's Wireless Festival in the United Kingdom by not hitting the stage. #WheresDrizzy
The Toronto native issued an open statement about having to fall back on the three-day festival.
“To my beloved fans, it truly breaks my heart that I won’t be able to perform as planned at Wireless and Roskilde this weekend. I got sick a few days ago and although I am on my way to bouncing back, my doctors have made it clear that I am not physically fit to fly or deliver the performance my fans expect and deserve from me. I will be focused on resting for a quick recovery. I have the best fans in the world and I can’t wait to come back to make more incredible memories together.” (Statement)
Despite Drizzy’s setback, rap star Kanye West will invade the annual event.
On Saturday 5th July fans in London can look forward partying with 21 Grammy winning, multi talented rapper/producer and megastar Kanye West for a second night in a row. Fans in Birmingham will be treated to an extended set from the platinum selling, multi award-winning Rudimental, BBC’s ‘Festival Band of The Summer’ 2013, who will now be joined by an array of very special guests (more on this to be announced asap).
