The rapper wants to focus on finishing his album.

Rapper The Game, real name Jayceon Taylor, was just a few days away from performing in Dublin, Ireland, but the venue, called The Helix, tweeted that the show has been called off. "The Game has canceled his full European tour including all Irish dates due to circumstances out of our control," they wrote. "Tickets purchased using a credit or debit card will be refunded in full. Cash refunds will be processed by phone. Apologies for any inconvenience."

Another venue, the Big Top venue in the Milk Market, also issued a statement about The Game's cancelation ahead of his scheduled performance Wednesday. “Important announcement from promoters of The Game: It is with great regret and disappointment we are to inform you The Game has canceled his entire European tour. Refunds can be sought immediately at the point of purchase.”

Addressing the cancelation publicly, The Game wrote on an Instagram story that he's pushed back the European tour by two months. The rapper said that he's putting his focus on recording his latest record and wants to give the best to his fans. This European tour news comes a month after The Game had to disappoint Canadian fans by canceling dates in the country after the government denied him entry.
