The Canadian musician, Aubrey Drake Graham known as Drake, said he had to drop out because he “got sick a few days ago” and doctors have said he is not “physically fit to fly or deliver the performance my fans expect”.
He was due to play gigs in both London and Birmingham.
Kanye West, the other headline act at Wireless, will now headline two nights in London.
In a statement, Drake said: “To my beloved fans, it truly breaks my heart that I won’t be able to perform as planned at Wireless and Roskilde this weekend.
“I got sick a few days ago and although I am on my way to bouncing back, my doctors have made it clear that I am not physically fit to fly or deliver the performance my fans expect and deserve from me.
“I will be focused on resting for a quick recovery.
“I have the best fans in the world and I can’t wait to come back to make more incredible memories together.”
Organisers Live Nation have confirmed that all three days of Wireless Festival will go ahead as planned in both London and Birmingham.
They said Rudimental would play an extended set on 4 July in Birmingham to compensate for Drake’s absence.
