They are also offering ticket holders the opportunity to return tickets to their point of purchase.

In a statement, Drake said:

[quote style=’1′ cite=”]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.[/quote]

Wireless Festival is set to feature Bruno Mars and Kanye West topping the duel-site event; with Pharrell Williams, Foxes, Outcast and Ellie Goulding also performing on the bill.
