Drake Cancels Concert After Uncle's Death + D'Angelo Works On New Album

 

Unfortunately, Drake has had to cancel a concert in Florida while he mourns the death of his uncle. Get the deets inside and find out about D'Angelo back in the studio after the jump.....

 

Rapper Drake has suffered a death in his family and has cancelled his Florida concert as a result.

His rep released a statement saying,

 "We regret to announce that Drake will not be able to take the stage at Universal Orlando Resort due to a death in the family.  He hopes that his fans understand the situation he finds himself in and know that he fully intends to return to the area in the future. He thanks Universal Orlando Resort and his fans for their continued support.”

Our prayers are with you Drake.

 

Also in music news....

Fans of D'Angelo will be happy to learn that he hit the studio with Roots drummer Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson and bassist Pino Palladino in New York earlier this week for a late-night recording session.

Quest posted about the session on Twitter saying,

"Most people use midnight as a time to sleep. others are working on their 11 year followup. this of course being hour number one."

Early reports say the CD will be called James River and released via J Records towards the end of the year or in early 2012.

I can't wait to hear his new music. I wonder will he drop a hot video like "Untitled."
