Drake cancels Manchester gig due to 'travel issues'

Drake, the well-known Canadian rapper, has had to cancel his scheduled concert in Manchester on Monday due to 'travel logistics,' according to a statement from the Co-op Live arena. The concert was supposed to take place on July 28th, but now it has been moved to August 5th. Organizers have assured fans that all tickets for the original date will still be valid for the new show. Drake had already performed two concerts in Manchester over the weekend as part of his world tour, and he is also set to perform another show at the same venue on August 4th.

The announcement about the cancellation was made on the arena's website, where they explained that 'unforeseen ferry schedule and travel logistics' were the reasons for the change. They also tried to reassure fans by saying that the rescheduled concert on August 5th would be an 'unforgettable night. ' However, many fans were disappointed and frustrated by the short notice. Some took to social media to express their anger, with one man saying he had extended his unpaid leave in Dubai just to see Drake, only to have the concert canceled at the last minute. Another woman called the explanation a 'lame excuse.

Drake is one of the most-streamed artists in the world and has been touring the UK this summer, marking his first European tour in six years. Recently, he released a new song with UK rapper Central Cee called 'Which One. ' The music video was filmed in various locations around Manchester, including the Piccadilly railway station and Victoria Baths. Despite the setback, fans are still looking forward to Drake's upcoming performances in Manchester, hoping that the rescheduled concert will make up for the disappointment.
