Kanye West And Lady GaGa ‘Fame Kills' Tour Cancelled
The Kanye West and Lady GaGa "Fame Kills" tour has been cancelled, concert promoter Live Nation announced Thursday without explanation.
Tickets bought in person will be refunded at point of purchase. Automatic refunds will be applied for those tickets secured online and via phone.
The cancellation of the tour was unexpected, as Lady GaGa
was in the midst of conducting press about the show.
In an interview with Big Boy's Neighborhood morning show on Power 106 in Los Angeles, the pop singer discussed the concept of the concert.
Lady GaGa said she and Kanye designed a never-before-seen "transverse" stage that featured a catwalk that spanned the width of the venue.
Lady GaGa added that the concept sought to bring both
artists together as she pursued Kanye's fame, and he desired to return home.
Gossip blog MediaTakeOut.com speculated Wednesday that Lady GaGa would be pulling out of the tour, describing it as fallout from the MTV Video Music Awards fiasco.
In September, Kanye received flack for interrupting Taylor Swift's Best Female Award acceptance speech, suggesting that Beyonce was overlooked. Kanye's typical award show antics sparked more media attention than any other aspect of the show, including the Michael Jackson tribute and performances from Jay-Z and Alicia Keys as well as Lady GaGa.
The following night, Kanye offered an apology on The Jay
Leno Show and discussed taking a break for the first time since his mother
passed away nearly two years ago.
Within a day, the tour dates were no longer listed on the Pollstar.com site. The Los Angeles Times' Pop & Hiss blog questioned whether Kanye would be taking the time off.
Then, representatives for the artists, venue, and promoter declined to confirm the tour.
This is too bad. I was looking forward to seeing this tour.
At the present time it is a good thing for Lady G to distance herself and her career from Kanye.....for a time anyway. Kanye needs to "man up" and search inside himself in order to resolve his own inner demons.....then hopefully get back on track.
As for Lady G...here's hoping she is able to re-group and her camp is able to re-schedule another concert tour showcasing her many talents. She is truly a very gifted and creative musical artist.
If Kanye West keeps up his childish antics, the fans, and music industry may render him forgotten.
It be it,
