Drake’s ‘Take Care’ album has been incredibly successful without the support of live performances but he wasn’t prepared to let a major promotional venture like the 2012 NHL All-Star Game be wasted. The rapper delivered a rousing rendition of his hit tune ‘Headlines’ from the LP and got the crowd hyped for the match.
‘Take Care’ has sold over 1.35 million copies in the US since November 2011. The record is on track to outsell his previous album, ‘Thank Me Later’, which sold 1.49 since June 2010.
FACTS:
* Only in the NHL all star game would players leave lockers to watch Drake between periods knowing all the lyrics, recording on phones love it.
*Drake was the only person from Toronto on the ice that didn't get booed tonight.
