Drake has announced that he will be unable to go ahead with his appearance at the Wireless Festival in London and Birmingham this weekend.

The rapper has issued a statement: "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."

Festival organisers Live Nation have said they are doing their best to make sure that fans will still have a good time. Rap superstar Kanye West will be playing two nights in a row and Birmingham fans are in for an extended set by multi award-winning Rudimental.

Refunds will be available from point of purchase before the event but won’t be available at the event.
