Drake has postponed the remaining dates of his Australia and New Zealand tour, with plans to reschedule and offer refunds to affected fans.
Speculation about the tour’s abrupt end arose after tickets for the remaining shows were quietly removed from sale. Shortly after, Drake’s representatives confirmed the postponement, assuring fans that efforts were underway to reschedule the concerts.
“We are actively working on rescheduling these dates along with adding some additional shows,” his team announced. “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.”
The Anita Max Win Tour was originally set for 14 shows between early February and mid-March, but Drake performed only 10 before the unexpected cancellation, leaving thousands of fans in limbo. The postponed concerts in Brisbane, Sydney, and Auckland are among those expected to be rescheduled.
Despite the sudden change, Drake has remained silent on the matter, making no public statement about the tour’s early end.
Drake’s Generosity Takes Center Stage
While his tour has faced setbacks, Drake has continued making headlines for his generosity towards fans.
During his final show in Brisbane, the Toronto rapper pledged to cover the cancer treatment costs for an audience member’s mother after spotting a sign in the crowd that read: Mum’s Cancer Treatment.
“I can’t ignore this right here. Everybody has been pointing to this man all night, this is important,” Drake said, addressing the crowd.
He then honored those battling serious illnesses, adding, “Make some noise for anybody in this world that’s fighting any disease, but especially cancer. That’s real soldiers, real gangsta.”
Turning back to the fan, Drake made his heartfelt offer: “Let me tell you something, my man. I’m not even going to put a number on it. Whatever you need for your mother’s cancer treatment, I’ma take care of everything for you, I promise you, anything.”
As fans await new tour dates, Drake’s charitable gesture has reinforced his deep connection with audiences worldwide.
