Originally from Croydon, Stormzy rose to fame with his song Shut Up which was initially released as a freestyle and posted on YouTube.
He has since release two bestselling albums and became the first British rapper to headline Glastonbury festival in 2019.
December 2020 saw him sign with influential hip hop record label Def Jam after leaving Atlantic Records, joining some of the biggest names in music including Kanye West and Nas.
Stormzy’s rescheduled tour was among a string of touring problems amid the coronavirus pandemic. Sir Elton John, Genesis and The Rolling Stones also were among acts forced to delay live dates.
