Jay-Z has cancelled three US dates on his 'The Blueprint 3' tour.

The rapper, who performed with Rihanna in London last night (November 16), has cancelled tonight's show (November 17) at the Lubbock United Spirit Arena in Texas as well as two later this week at Albuquerque Tingley Coliseum in New Mexico (19) and the Don Haskins Centre in El Paso, Texas (20).

The shows were axed due to an "unforseen scheduling concert" according to Lubbock United Spirit Arena's official site, UnitedSpiritArena. Ticketholders will be refunded.
