"Hotline Bling" will have to wait
NEWARK -- Fans who purchased tickets to Drake's Sunday concert at Prudential Center in Newark will have to wait.
The hip-hop superstar announced Tuesday morning he needs ankle surgery after more than 50 show dates this summer and is under doctor's orders to postpone his Sunday show, the last on his successful Summer Sixteen tour. The rapper will still play his Saturday show in Newark, however.
A stop at Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia Thursday has also been postponed.
"I am crushed to even be typing this announcement because I feel like I am letting my fans in these cities down ... I will make it up to you," Drake wrote on his website.
No make-up dates have yet been announced.
