(CNN) DMX has canceled a series of upcoming shows in order to check into a rehab facility. A statement shared on the raspy-voiced rapper's official Instagram account said he was "putting family and sobriety first." "DMX has checked himself into a rehab facility," the 48-year-old's team wrote alongside a picture of him. "He apologizes for his cancelled shows and thanks his fans for their continued support." The "Party Up (Up In Here)" hitmaker had been due to perform at a Three 6 Mafia reunion concert on Saturday night in Memphis and day 2 of the Rolling Loud festival in New York on Sunday.
