It has been confirmed that Drake has pulled out of his headline appearance at Wireless Festival in London and Birmingham this weekend.

Drake regrettably cancelled his performance due to illness after his doctors forced him to pull out.

This is the second time that the rapper has cancelled a performance at the Festival in four years after he cancelled in 2010 for 'personal reasons'.

Wireless have revealed that Kanye West will be replacing him onstage in a second headline performance at the London Festival, while in Birmingham he will be replaced with so far unconfirmed 'special guests'.

Whatsmore, ticket holders attending the 4th July show in Birmingham will receive ÂŁ20 worth of 'Wireless Credit' upon arrival, which can be redeemed anywhere on site on food, beverages, merchandise and the funfair.

In a statement to his fans, Drake said:

"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."
