Drake's European Tour Postponed Due To Mom's Surgery
Drake is postponing his 10-city European tour because his mother is undergoing surgery.
The 23-year-old rapper says in a statement that he wants to support his mother during her recovery "just as she supported me through the years."
The statement doesn't say what kind of surgery Drake's mother is going to have.
The European leg of his "The Away From Home Tour" had been scheduled to kick off Friday in Norway. It will be rescheduled for November.
Drake will still tour in his home country of Canada, starting July 16 in Ottawa.
In other Drake news, Virgin America marked its first flight from California to Toronto on Tuesday (June 29) with a mile-high party aboard an Airbus A320 aircraft dubbed the "Air Drake." The flight was the first international destination for the California-based airline.
"Flying on 'Air Drake' is truly humbling. I'm truly honored to have a plane named after me," Drake said via video about the experience.
