Lil Durk, the popular rapper known for hits like “All My Life,” has recently faced health issues that forced him to cancel several tour dates, including his highly anticipated appearance at Rolling Loud Miami. The Sorry for the Drought Tour, which had a total of 24 performances, saw a significant number of cancellations listed on Ticketmaster’s website, leaving only two shows in Lil Durk’s hometown of Chicago.
The 30-year-old rapper, whose real name is Durk Derrick Banks, has been struggling with health problems, leading to his recent hospitalization for severe dehydration and exhaustion. According to sources close to the rapper, Lil Durk was taken to a hospital in Ohio on July 6, where doctors deemed his condition to be serious. As a result, he had no choice but to cancel the European performances and an appearance at the ESPYs Awards.

However, he remains optimistic and is eagerly looking forward to his two homecoming shows in Chicago scheduled for August 11 and August 12 at the United Center, followed by new tour dates to be announced for the rest of the country.
