A Lil Wayne representative has released a statement to SOHH regarding the rapper’s unexpected cancellation of this week’s Canada tour dates and claimed it was due to medical reasons.

According to Wayne‘s camp, the tour will continue this Thursday (August 20) in Denver, Colorado.

“Lil Wayne, due to illness, was advised by his doctors to cancel the Young Money Presents: America’s Most Wanted Music Festival tour stops in Western Canada. The tour, headlined by Lil Wayne featuring Young Jeezy, Soulja Boy, Pleasure P and Jeremih, was scheduled to come through Vancouver and Edmonton on August 17th and 18th. Wayne, his band and crew arrived in Canada with full intention of performing but were forced to cancel the dates due to doctor-mandated rest. Young Money Presents America’s Most Wanted Music Festival will continue their tour routing as planned and extends an apology to the fans for the cancellation.”

News of the Vancouver cancellation landed online yesterday (August 17) evening which can be read here.

We recently posted that Lil Wayne had delayed his highly anticipated European tour where he was performing in countries such as UK, Holland and France. Well Karen Civil has found out the real reason behind the cancellation:

“He canceled the entire European tour. His heart can’t take any adrenaline rush apparently,” said the source.

It was reported Wayne arrived in Europe with all intentions to perform but was mandated to rest by a doctor due to an unknown illness. The condition is believed deal with migraine problems the multiplatinum rapper suffers from on occasion.

“It’s a migraine condition which requires a specific medication. If this medication is combined with adrenaline, a myocardial infarction can be provoked.”

A myocardial infarction is a condition which is the result of a critical imbalance between the oxygen supply and demand of myocardium. If untreated, a heart attack can potentially occur.

I was a bit pissed off that Wayne couldn’t make it to the UK, but I guess he really is ill, even though he was caught partying in Miami two days ago too 😮 🙁

Lil Wayne has postponed his forthcoming European shows, expected to kick off in Paris on Thursday, due to illness.

The rap star was set to play seven dates in Europe over the next 10 days, including the Roskilde Festival in Denmark and two dates in London.

An official statement said the musician had been forced to cancel the concerts due to “doctor-mandated rest”.

“Lil Wayne extends an apology to his fans for the short notice of this postponement,” a statement said.

“But he looks forward to returning for the performances and visitation with his fans,” the statement continued.

Fans have been advised to hold on to their tickets and wait for details of revised dates.

The shows were due to take place in Paris, Roskilde, London, Amsterdam, Liege and Thurgau in Switzerland.

Shout outs to BBC and I was looking forward to Weezy coming over to the UK, but I guess it is what it is 🙁

Also, Young Money members such as Gudda Gudda, Jae Millz and Mack Maine are already in Paris after keeping everyone updated on Twitter, so I don’t know, but they might do something such as a little show or they might just use this as a vacation 😆
