Drake has been forced to postpone his UK tour due to a “family emergency” involving his mother.
The rapper was set to play a host of dates, including the Wireless festival in London this weekend.
Two headline shows – due to take place on July 12 and 13 – will now take place in November.
In a statement released to BBC Newsbeat, Drake said: "Despite my best hopes, it is apparent that my mother will need surgery earlier than anticipated.
"In light of this news, I have made the difficult decision to cancel my European tour in order to support her during her recovery."
Drake's debut album 'Thank Me Later' debuted at number 15 in the UK last month.
