Lil Wayne is following doctor's orders just hours after an unexpected cancellation of his 'America's Most Wanted Music Festival' in Canada.

Releasing a statement late Tuesday, Wayne's management says:

“Lil Wayne, due to illness, was advised by his doctors to cancel the Young Money Presents: America’s Most Wanted Music Festival tour stops in Western Canada. The tour, headlined by Lil Wayne featuring Young Jeezy, Soulja Boy, Pleasure P and Jeremih, was scheduled to come through Vancouver and Edmonton on August 17th and 18th. Wayne, his band and crew arrived in Canada with full intention of performing but were forced to cancel the dates due to doctor-mandated rest. Young Money Presents America’s Most Wanted Music Festival will continue their tour routing as planned and extends an apology to the fans for the cancellation.”

As previously reported on Singersroom, 'America's Most Wanted Music Festival' organizers will issue refunds to fans who purchased tickets for Monday's show in Vancouver and Tuesday's show in Edmonton.

Young Jeezy, Soulja Boy, Jeremih, and Pleasure P are due to resume the 'America's Most Wanted Festival' later in the week.
