Fans of the star were left stunned when they turned up to the Young Money Presents: America's Most Wanted Music Festival tour to watch him play alongside Young Jeezy and Soulja Boy - only to be told it had been axed.
Ticket holders were provided no specific explanation as concert promoters Live Nation only disclosed the show had been called off "due to circumstances beyond (organisers') control".
Lil Wayne and his tourmates also pulled out of a second show the following day in Edmonton, Canada.
But now bosses at the firm have confirmed that medics ordered Lil Wayne to stay off the stage because he was feeling unwell.
A new statement reads: "Lil Wayne, due to illness, was advised by his doctors to cancel the Young Money Presents America's Most Wanted Festival tour stops in Western Canada. 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 and extends an apology to the fans for the cancellation."
The roadshow's next scheduled stop is in Denver, Colorado on Thursday (19Aug09).
