Drake announces he is taking a break from music to address health issues

WASHINGTON (TND) — Hours before the release of his latest album, Drake announced he would be taking a break from music due to health issues.

During a Friday episode of his radio show, "Table for One," he said he has been suffering from stomach problems for years and will be taking a break for "maybe a year or so."

“Nothing crazy, but just like, you know, I want people to be healthy in life,” he added. “I’ve been having the craziest problems for years with my stomach, I’m just saying what it is.”

In the last 13 years he has released nine studio projects, TMZ reported.

"I’ma lock the door on the studio for a little bit, I don’t even know what a little bit is. Maybe a year or so, maybe a little longer," he said.
