Lil Wayne Postpones Toronto Show Over Illness; New Date Not Announced

Lil Wayne postponed his Toronto concert Monday night, citing an unforeseen illness that struck just hours before he was set to take the stage at Budweiser Stage. The venue announced the show would be rescheduled, with all previously purchased tickets to be honored for the new date once announced, as the Tha Carter VI tour presses on through North America. The postponement came roughly two hours after doors opened and about an hour before the rapper was due on stage, leaving fans who had traveled and queued inside the venue with little time to adjust plans.

The announcement underscored the challenges of mounting a large-scale tour, even for a veteran performer. The venue’s post stated that Wayne loves delivering top-tier performances and had been excited for the Toronto date, and it urged fans to stay tuned for the new date. The rescheduled date had not been announced at press time, and no further details about the illness were provided publicly. The decision affected a show that had already drawn a steady crowd, many of whom had traveled from other cities.

Wayne’s Tha Carter VI tour, which launched in early August, has been a high-profile run across major North American markets....
