Drake's First Six Concerts in Mexico CANCELLED Due To Delayed Visa and Logistics

Once again Drake and his tour promoter have cancelled concert dates from his Mexico / Latin America tour. The affected cities include Hermosillo, Torreon, San Luis Potosi, Aguascalientes, Leon, and Queretaro, and they are looking to reschedule for November. Refunds will be available starting Monday from Ticketmaster, Super Boletos, or the venue's box office, depending on where tickets were bought.

"I am deeply saddened by the cancellations,” said Bell. “I love Mexico, I love my fans in Mexico. They are incredibly supportive, and incredibly important to me. I look very forward to rescheduling and will be down there soon!"

New Drake Interview with El Universal on Glee, His Record, Fairly OddMovie, and Ragz

In a recent phone interview with Mexico's El Universal, Drake talks about how he's not a big fan of Glee, what he wants to accomplish with his third album, the reason for cancelling the Juarez concert, acting with cardboard fairies, and his role in Ragz.

I do not want Glee do one of my songs, I think it's bad. Take those great songs, these big issues and make sound without a spark...I do not know could hurt the music industry, but it hurts my ears to hear a song I grew to love, sung by what looks like a group of kids screaming...

During his musical break Bell also filmed a new adaptation of Cinderella in another role related to the magic. "I play the fairy godmother, although not a fairy tale. The story is about a boy who wants to be a musician, a rockstar and I I play a producer who appears at times to make sure everything is well with him, "he said about the film slated for 2012.

Pop Sugar UK Interview

In addition to performing in London, Drake also got interviewed by PopSugar UK. In it, he talks about music, tattoos, dream projects, and his interest in fashion:

...You have two different audiences that somewhat cross over - one from Drake & Josh, and one as a songwriter, musician and actor. When you write your music do you keep that in mind, or do you just write for yourself? I have always written for myself, there's nothing I'd steer away from in my music to keep the appeal to younger fans - I'm the same person for each audience.... You work in a lot of different fields already, but is there anything else you'd like to branch out into? Fashion and becoming an author... I am working on things in both areas.
