Due to this week’s forthcoming funeral for Takeoff, Drake has postponed his upcoming Apollo Theatre performance.
Drizzy will now play at the venerable New York location on December 6, rather than the original Friday, November 11—the day of Takeoff’s funeral at Atlanta’s State Farm Arena—which was originally scheduled. On December 7, he has also added a second performance.
“The Apollo show has been moved to allow us to pay respect to our dear friend this weekend,” he said. “We have added a second date for the fans.”
On Monday, the Migos rapper’s funeral arrangements were made official, and Drake announced his performance at the 1,500-person venue the previous month.
The OVO rapper hinted at a potential tour on his SiriusXM radio show, Table For One, following the release of his new collaboration album with 21 Savage, Her Loss. “I’m excited for tour,” he hinted. “I’m excited for tours just another opportunity for me to be with my brother and, just, I mean shit our set that night is going to be dangerous.”
