Lil Wayne has delayed his several planned concerts in Europe because he gets sick. "Multi-platinum selling, Grammy Award -winning artist Lil Wayne regrets to announce the postponement of his forthcoming European shows due to illness," so it is announced by his camp.

"Wayne, his band and crew arrived in Europe with full intention of performing but were forced to cancel the dates due to doctor-mandated rest," it is explained further. "Management is actively working on rescheduling the shows and expects to have a new set of dates confirmed for later in year."

"Lil Wayne extends an apology to his fans for the short notice of this postponement, but looks forward to returning for the performances and visitation with his fans. Fans should hold onto their tickets and wait for news of rescheduled dates."

Lil Wayne was supposed to hold at least seven gigs in Europe. Among other concerts he was originally scheduled to perform are two gigs at HMV Hammersmith Apollo on July 6 and 7.

Beside having a European leg to be held, Weezy is also set to go on a tour with fellow rappers Young Jeezy, Soulja Boy and Drake. They will begin the roadshow at Toyota Pavilion in Scranton, PA on July 27 and then finish it off at Superpages.com Center in Dallas on August 23.
