Doctors tell Drake to postpone Amsterdam show for third time
By Chris Cooke | Published on Tuesday 28 March 2017
Drake has been busy of late breaking records on the streaming platforms left, right and centre, and even in that bit just between left and centre.
All that record breaking is, frankly, exhausting. No one has ever had to shake Roy Castle’s hand quite so hard before, or chat so long and so meaningfully to Cheryl Baker, let alone have his achievements listed back to him in quite so much detail by Norris McWhirter. Add to that trying to get your head around some random references to a 1980s British children’s TV show that even your own UK fans are too young to understand, and it’s no wonder Drake’s feeling under the weather.
But if you are one of those Dutch Drake fans who has now been denied the chance to see the man himself perform his unique brand of mediocre hip pop live on stage on three separate occasions, you might not be feeling so sympathetic.
Some of those disappointed fans booed and jeered the representative for Drake’s Dutch promoter as she took to the stage to announce that last night’s show at Amsterdam’s Ziggo Dome wasn’t happening, despite it having already been postponed twice before. Though others cut their losses, realised they’ll probably never get to capture Drake from a distance on their phones, and so recorded the postponement announcement instead.
The show is now due to take place tomorrow. Will it happen this time? Well, that depends. Perhaps Drake is now trying to break the ‘most postponed shows’ record. And while that might mean pissing off a load of Dutch fans, being dedicated to breaking the record requires some hardships, and dedication is what you need if you’re going to be a record breaker.
