US star Drake has left fans fuming after he cancelled his Manchester gig just hours before his performance.
The One Dance singer, 38, was forced to miss his show due to "travel logistics and unforeseen ferry schedule".
Drake was set to perform at Manchester's Co-op Live arena on Monday as part of his Some Special Shows 4 U tour.
But the Canadian hitmaker informed fans that he had rescheduled for August 5, with organisers ensuring "all tickets remain valid for the new date".
A statement on the arena's website read: "Due to unforeseen ferry schedule and travel logistics, tomorrow's performance in Manchester on July 28th has been rescheduled.
"The good news is that Drake will now perform in Manchester on Tuesday, August 5th, and it's set to be an unforgettable night."
The singer had already played in the city on Friday and Saturday.
Earlier this month, Drake left fans disappointed when he ended his three-show extravaganza at Wireless after 40 minutes.
An insiders revealed the Canadian star threw an epic party after his last gig — which saw him partying at Mr Porter in Mayfair until after 5.30am.
A source said: "After his back-to-back shows on Friday and Saturday, Drake had a party.
"He hired out Mr Porter in Mayfair and was seen arriving around midnight.
"There were loads of celebs there like Casey Affleck and Sacha Baron Cohen. Weirdly, Lily Phillips — the X-rated adult performer — was also on the guest list.
"The party went on all through the early hours of Sunday morning, with Drake finally heading home not long before 6am.
"It was a great bash and everyone who came out looked like they'd had a really good time.
"Drake looked a bit tired when he came out with some of his entourage, so it's not surprising that his final show at Wireless was cut short.
"He probably needed some extra sleep."
After his final show at Finsbury Park, North London, Drake took to Instagram to speak directly to his fans and said: "Thank you London.
"Need some time to process what just happened so I don't have my usual caption . . . just thank you so much for the best three nights of my performance career."
Drake's fans, who had tickets to his final performance night, were not too impressed though.
His shows on Friday and Saturday ran for 90 minutes, with the latter featuring 13 special guests.
On Sunday, the official setlist had advertised two sets for Drake, one at 6.25pm and one at 8.55pm.
But the first randomly disappeared from the schedule, with Drake coming on after Burna Boy had finished.
His first track was an unreleased collaboration with Central Cee, who was seen mouthing the words from the front row, which was projected on to big screens.
One concert-goer said Drake then raced through hits, with a surprise appearance from Nigerian rapper Rema and Jamaican dancehall star Vybz Kartel.
There was then only time for a few more tracks, with Drake finishing to Whitney Houston's I Will Always Love You for a third night in a row.
