This morning it has been announced that Drake has pulled out of his headlining performances at this years Wireless festival due to illness.

The Canadian rapper who was set to headline Wireless at both the London and Birmingham shows this weekend, has regrettably announced his absence and released the following message to his fans:

“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.”

It has since been confirmed that Kanye West will now play a second show in London after headlining the same stage the night before. In Birmingham support act Rudimental will play an extended set with “very special guests”.
