DMX was scheduled to depart on his tour Aug. 22, but delayed his departure until Aug 23. His representative agreed to add a day to the original schedule. However, on Aug. 23, he failed to appear on time for his flight to Kuwait.

"When we announced this tour, troops were extremely excited about the possibility of seeing a performer they admired. We understand their disappointment."
