Drake is the latest in a growing list of Canadian artists who’ve cancelled shows in their home country. Last week, Shawn Mendes cancelled the rest of his world tour to prioritize mental health — various shows of which were scheduled across Canada. In June, Justin Bieber cancelled his Toronto shows due to his health problems relating to Ramsay Hunt syndrome.
