Drake Suddenly Pushes Back Final Australia & New Zealand Shows

Drake has called off the rest of his Australia and New Zealand tour, fueling speculation after tickets for the final shows were abruptly pulled from sale.

The Toronto star’s team later verified that the shows are officially canceled, though efforts to reschedule are underway. “We are actively working on rescheduling these dates along with adding some additional shows,” his camp voiced to 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’s Anita Max Wynn Tour was slated for 14 dates but wrapped after 10, leaving thousands disappointed. Shows in Brisbane, Sydney, and Auckland will be rescheduled. Drake has yet to address the tour’s abrupt conclusion. Nonetheless, the Toronto artist has made waves abroad for his lavish gifts to concertgoers.

At his Brisbane tour finale, Drake spotted a sign in the crowd that read “Mum’s Cancer Treatment” and pledged to cover the medical expenses.

“I can’t ignore this right here. Everybody has been pointing to this man all night… This is important,” he said. “Make some noise for anybody in this world that’s fighting any disease, but especially cancer. That’s real soldiers, real gangsta.” He then stepped in with his highly anticipated pledge of support. Drake added, “Let me tell you something, my man.” “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.”
