Fans will have to hold out until Feburary 9 to find out who shot James ‘Ghost’ St Patrick (Omari Hardwick), or in the UK, February 10.
While the reason behind the delay has yet to be confirmed, it comes after viewers urged show bosses to rewrite the ending following a series of leaked videos giving away the ending.
That didn’t stop social media users from ranting about having to wait an extra week on social media though.
“Why February 9 FFS!” one exasperated Twitter user wrote.

A more hopeful fan chimed in: “Well, Tate's leaked episode was the same. I am hoping the extra week gives them time to switch out episode 15.”
While a third simply fumed: “February 9, REALLY?!” alongside angry and crying emojis.
As for the leak itself, viewers claimed they were disappointed by the final scenes that began circulating online last week.
If you’re worried about spoilers, fear not, Sun Online aren’t going to give the shooter’s identity away.

However we’re about to delve into the nature of the clips without naming the shooter, so look away now if you want to be surprised.
The leaked clips see Ghost come face-to-face with his shooter while looking out over the balcony of Truth.
He urges his assailant to “put the gun down,” but his pleading falls on deaf ears.
As they advance towards him, he warns: “If you do this s***, you can never go back.”

He continued to beg them to give him the gun, before the attacker replies: “I can’t.”
They proceed to shoot Ghost and watch as he tumbles from the balcony to his death.
Upon hearing the furore, Tommy rushes to Ghost’s side and looks up to clock the killer.
It should be pointed out that there is still a glimmer of hope for those who’ve stumbled across spoilers.

Show boss Courtney Kemp previously hinted that multiple endings for the show had been filmed, it the event of such a leak.
She told Deadline: “I will say we’ve filmed a lot of different things because things get leaked in the Power world all the time, you know.
“It turns out that very often content slips away from us, so we’ve got a lot of different endings and false ending, real endings and truthful endings, all in the can.”
Fans will have to tune into the final two episodes of Power if they want to find out if the leaks are legitimate or not.
Power season 6 continues on Sunday on Starz and Monday on Netflix UK.
