Lil Wayne postpones European tour

Lil Wayne has postponed his forthcoming European tour due to illness.

The rapper was due to play the HMV Hammersmith Apollo on July 6 and 7 as part of the dates, but those shows are now off.

”Multi-platinum selling, Grammy Award -winning artist Lil Wayne regrets to announce the postponement of his forthcoming European shows due to illness," explained a statement. "Wayne, his band and crew arrived in Europe with full intention of performing but were forced to cancel the dates due to doctor-mandated rest.

"Management is actively working on rescheduling the shows and expects to have a new set of dates confirmed for later in year. Lil Wayne extends an apology to his fans for the short notice of this postponement, but looks forward to returning for the performances and visitation with his fans.
