Sick Drake cancels Wireless date, Kanye steps in

Well here’s the saddest headline ever. Dribbly Drake has cancelled on this weekend’s Wireless Festival because he is too ill to get on a plane (or, for that matter, rap and/or sing live on a stage), and his heart is breaking because of it. As is mine.

Canning twin appearances at Wireless events in London and Birmingham, Drake shared his sick note via the festival’s website: “To my beloved fans, it truly breaks my heart that I won’t be able to perform as planned at Wireless 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”.

Just hold on though, it’s all OK-ish, for good ol Live Nation have confirmed that Wireless co-headliner Kanye West will now play an additional show in London on 5 Jul, in place of Drizzy’s set. Also, Rudimental will sub in for Drake in Birmingham on 4 Jul with an extended set, with extra guests still TBA, and Birmingham fans will be given £20 of ‘Wireless Credit’, which is redeemable anywhere on site, on entering.

That or you can just ask for your money back.
