Lil Wayne cancelled his concert in Toronto on Monday night due to an unforeseen illness. Just minutes before Tyga was set to come out as a supporting act at the Budweiser Stage, the venue displayed a message alerting fans that the show had been postponed and tickets would be honoured at a future date.
“Due to unforeseen illness, Wayne’s Toronto show tonight will be postponed,” the message read. “As his fans know, he loves putting on nothing short of the best performances for those who come out, and he was so excited for this one. Please stay tuned for the new date coming soon. All previously purchased tickets will be honoured for the new date once announced.”
When Budweiser Stage shared the update on Instagram, fans expressed their frustration in the comments section. “At show time? Seriously? People travelled hours to get here already,” one user wrote. Another added: “So it was known in advance that he wouldn’t be performing, but you felt comfortable letting people wait during a heat wave and spend money inside a venue where a show wasn’t even going to be put on?? And then, when you cancel the sho,w you close any form of customer service?”
