If you had passes to see Drake this weekend in London, it looks like you’ll need a change of plan. Drake is pulling out due to an illness and his team has just just issued this 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.

Good news is they’ve found a replacement, and it’s not just any replacement, it’s Kanye West. Mr. West will only be replacing his show in Birmingham, England however. More details can be found through the festival’s official website here.
