Canadian rapper Drake has postponed a number of dates from his upcoming ‘Would You Like A Tour?’ outing.

Drake was scheduled to begin his latest North American tour on September 25 in Portland, Oregon but the premier date will now be a show in Pittsburgh on October 18.

Due to the change, previously planned shows in Saskatoon, Winnipeg and Cleveland have been cancelled and refunds have been made available.

The 'Take Care' star explained the reasons for the tour date changes and cancellations via his reps who revealed that the alterations are due to "an intense rehearsal schedule and technical production requirements that will be part of the show."

Drake’s ‘Would You Like A Tour?’ will also feature performances by Miguel and Future.
