In mid-May, just days before the eventual release of his eighth studio album Almost Healed (May 26), Lil Durk announced his Sorry for the Drought Tour, where he would be joined by Kodak Black and NLE Choppa for 27 shows from July 28 to September 7. However, just 10 days before the trio was meant to hit the road, it seems the tour has been derailed.
On Tuesday, Durk fans began to notice that practically every single one of the tour dates had been canceled on Ticketmaster, aside from the August 11 and 12 shows in his hometown of Chicago. Soon after this, Durk released a statement through hip-hop commentator DJ Akademiks, saying that his health is not in a good enough condition for him to go on the road at the moment, or for him to perform his headlining set at Rolling Loud Festival in Miami this Saturday (July 22). It now appears that the Sorry for the Drought Tour will be postponed.

“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,” he wrote. “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.”
Four days ago (July 14), TMZ reported that Durk was recently released from the hospital. On July 6, he sought medical attention in Ohio after a severe episode of dehydration and exhaustion. After spending nearly a week being treated, Durk was in a good enough condition to leave the hospital but still said in a statement that he would take some time to get back to full strength.
“Once I get my full energy back, it’s back to business which I’m looking forward to,” he told TMZ.
The postponement of Durk’s Sorry for the Drought Tour comes just days after Lil Baby canceled multiple dates of his It’s Only Us Tour. While he did not reveal the cause behind this, experts in the industry predicted that the decision was inspired by low ticket sales.
