Drake cancels Australia and New Zealand gigs

Drake has cancelled concerts in Australia and New Zealand due to a 'scheduling conflict'

Drake has cancelled concerts in Australia and New Zealand due to a "scheduling conflict".

The 'Rich Flex' rapper was due to play Down Under in Brisbane on March 4 and Sydney on March 7, with two shows in Auckland, New Zealand on March 15 and 16.

The hip-hop superstar's team are now working to reschedule the ‘Anita Max Win Tour’ dates and have vowed to make it up to fans with some new shows set to be added to the jaunt.

A statement given to Rolling Stone Australia read: “We are actively working on rescheduling these dates along with adding some additional shows.

“All tickets for the affected shows will remain valid for the new dates. Refunds will be available for those who prefer, but please note that as these shows are sold out, any refunded tickets will be released for sale.

"We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience. Drake and the entire team have had an incredible time doing these shows and are excited to return soon.

“We look forward to sharing the rescheduled dates with you as soon as possible."

Drake had already played gigs in Perth, Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane.

Meanwhile, Kendrick Lamar’s arch-nemesis has just scored a number one in the US with his surprise joint album with fellow rapper PARTYNEXTDOOR, '$ome $exy $ongs 4 U'.

It marked the first time he’s topped the charts since his vicious feud with the ‘Not Like Us’ hitmaker escalated last year.
