Lil Durk has cancelled over 20 of his upcoming performances amid recovering from health issues that reportedly had him hospitalized earlier this month.

The rapper's North American Sorry for the Drought tour behind his new record, Almost Healed, was scheduled to kick off on July 28. Now, the majority of the event listings are labelled as "cancelled" on Ticketmaster — save for Durk's Toronto show at Budweiser Stage, which reads "postponed," as well as a pair of hometown performances in Chicago in August still slated to go on as planned.

"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," the rapper said of his coveted time slot at this year's Miami Rolling Loud festival in a statement to Rolling Stone. "While I'm resting, I am looking forward to my two homecoming shows on the 11th and 12th in Chicago. For the rest of the country, I'll be announcing new dates soon."

Last week, TMZ reported that Durk had been hospitalized for a week due to "severe dehydration and exhaustion," having apparently fallen ill in Ohio and checked into a hospital on July 6. The hospitalization forced him to miss a few concerts in Europe, as well as an appearance at the ESPY Awards.
