Drake's remaining Australia and New Zealand tour dates for his Anita Max Win shows have been postponed due to "scheduling conflicts," a representative for the rapper confirmed to Rolling Stone in a statement.

The tour began on Feb. 4 in Perth, and was due to wrap on March 16 in Auckland. The remaining four shows in Brisbane, Sydney and a two-night run in Auckland will be rescheduled, according to his team.

"All tickets for the affected shows will remain valid for the new dates," the statement reads. "Refunds will be available for those who prefer, but please note that as these shows are sold out, any refunded tickets will be released for sale."

Drake's 2017 Boy Meets World tour was the last full tour he performed in Australia and New Zealand.

The rapper's team has not yet shared the new dates for the concerts and Drake has not posted anything about postponing the shows on social media. However, he did share several images of himself during the tour on Instagram.
