"Unlike other show cancellations or date adjustments due to production issues this one fell on me and I just want to apologise because I hate letting down anyone who come to share these moments," Drake wrote.

He thanked the medical team for their care and added "Miami deserves 100 per cent and I promise that experience when we return".

The gigs, which were part of his tour with Migos at the American Airlines Arena, were postponed have been rescheduled for November 13 and 14, the concert venue said.

Drake has pulled out of several events recently, including earlier this month when he cancelled his appearance on the opening night at the Toronto International Film Festival, where he was slated to introduce a film screening.
