Lil Durk has canceled multiple dates on his Sorry for the Drought Tour due to reported health issues, as well as his appearance at the Rolling Loud festival. Only two dates remain on his original tour schedule  — a headlining show at the United Center in Durk’s hometown of Chicago on Aug. 11, and a performance at the WGCI Summer Jam, which will take place at the same venue the following day.

Lil Durk has not addressed the cancelled tour dates directly, but DJ Akademiks posted a statement from Durk on social media, which alludes to recent health issues as the cause of the cancellations: “Since I’m still awaiting to get full clearance from my doctors to travel and perform again, I have no other choice but to cancel my headlining Rolling Loud performance. While I’m home resting, I am looking forward to my two homecoming shows on the 11th & 12th in Chicago. For the rest of the country, I’ll be announcing new dates soon. #StillHealing.”

Lil Durk was hospitalized earlier this month due to severe dehydration and exhaustion, with his condition forcing him cancel previously scheduled performances in Europe, as well as an appearance at ESPN’s ESPY Awards. Durk spoke out publicly after the hospitalization, and promised to return once he’s fully recovered. “My fans mean everything to me, you’re the reason why I do this. I was looking forward to touching all of my European fans, performing this week(end), attending the ESPYs and more but after performing and traveling daily I’ve become severely dehydrated and advised by my doctors not to travel due to exhaustion. Once I get my full energy back, it’s back to business which I’m looking forward to.”
