Drake Pulls Out Of Wireless Festival Due To Illness
His replacement headliners have been confirmed
Drake has cancelled his headline performances at Wireless Festival this weekend due to illness.
The 27-year-old rap superstar has released a statement today confirming he’s had to pull out of the dual hosted event in London and Birmingham.
"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,” he wrote.
“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."
Wireless organisers Live Nation have confirmed that Kanye West will now headline a second consecutive night at the London leg on Saturday 5th July.
In Birmingham on Friday 4th July, Rudimental will now step up to the mantle along with some very special guests. Attendees on the Friday in Birmingham will also receive £20 of ‘Wireless Credit’ to use on food, beverages, merchandise or the funfair.
Refunds will be available from point of purchase before the event but will not be available at the event.
