Skepta cancels Lollapalooza appearance due to more visa issues
More bad news for the UK grime master
Earlier this year, Skepta was forced to cancel a handful of US performances including his highly-anticipated Coachella slot due to visa problems.
Yesterday, it was announced that the UK grime icon will also be cancelling his Lollapalooza performance, set for next Friday afternoon, because of further discrepancies. The Chicago festival's official Twitter account released the news, reporting that Joey Purp will be replacing Skepta on the schedule.
Skepta's upcoming US dates were intended to promote his latest album, 'Konnichiwa', which dropped this May.
