Two days before Drake was due to perform at both the London and Birmingham versions of Wireless festival, he dropped the news that he would be pulling out of both due to illness. His statement read:
To my beloved fans, it truly breaks my heart that I won’t be able to perform as planned at Wireless and Roskilde this weekend. I got sick a few days ago and although I am on my way to bouncing back, my doctors have made it clear that I am not physically fit to fly or deliver the performance my fans expect and deserve from me. I will be focused on resting for a quick recovery. I have the best fans in the world and I can’t wait to come back to make more incredible memories together.
Festivals organisers quickly enlisted Kanye West and Rudimental to help cover, with Kanye jumping in to headline the second night in London, and Rudimental performing an extended set in Birmingham alongside special guests.
Although the slot was covered very quickly, we couldn’t help but miss Drake! These are the top 5 Drake tracks we missed the most at Wireless.
