Drake’s representatives then confirmed that the concerts are indeed no longer going ahead, though they are working on rescheduling.
“We are actively working on rescheduling these dates along with adding some additional shows,” his team told Rolling Stone. “All tickets for the affected shows will remain valid for the new dates. Refunds will be available for those who prefer, but please note that as these shows are sold out, any refunded tickets will be released for sale.”

Drake himself has not yet commented on the tour’s premature end.
The Toronto native has garnered headlines throughout his overseas tour thanks to his financial generosity towards fans.
At his final show in Brisbane, he offered to cover the costs of cancer treatment for one attendee’s mother.
After noticing someone in the crowd holding up a sign that read “Mums Cancer Treatment,” Drake said: “I can’t ignore this right here. Everybody has been pointing to this man all night… This is important.”

He continued: “Make some noise for anybody in this world that’s fighting any disease, but especially cancer. That’s real soldiers, real gangsta.”
He then made his much-anticipated offer to help.

“Let me tell you something, my man,” he continued. “I’m not even going to put a number on it. Whatever you need for your mother’s cancer treatment, I’ma take care of everything for you, I promise you… Anything.”
