KANYE MAKES HIS FIRST APPEARANCE SINCE HIS MOTHER’S PASSING
Sunday, November 18, 2007
A week after his mother’s passing, Kanye West returned to the concert stage Saturday night in Paris. Check out what a CL reader sent to us:
I’m a faithful reader of your site and i live in Paris and yesterday, during his concert over here, Kanye broke down in tears trying to perform ‘Hey Mama’ It was just sooo emotional a lot of people were also crying.
Can you please put this video in your blog? The concert was fantastic and Kanye was just amazing and he remained strong for his fans.
- LESLY NASSILA
The video is truly heartbreaking. Keep strong Kanye.

I was supposed to see Kanye perform in Amsterdam today, but when I heard the news about his mother a week ago, I already knew that the show would be cancelled. He needs time to grieve, like anyone else in this situation.
We love you Kanye, you’re in our prayers.

The type of relationship Kanye had with his Mum is so admirable. She was his best friend. I can’t imagine how hard things are for him right now….I pray to God to keep him, and help him to find the strength to carry on.
I love me some Kanye, and my heart really goes out to him and his family.I don’t know how I’d cope losing my Mum-Kanye, we’re all riding for you-we love you. RIP Donda West-thank you for raising such a wonderful man…may your soul forever rest in peace. xx

The church that they’re having the service at also has a private school. My stepchildren go there and the pricipal called us today and said they decided to close the school tomorrow because the service is tomorrow and they know there’s going to be alot of security and they didn’t want anything to disract the kids. I heard a couple of chicken heads in the grocery store talking about it. they will be out in full force tomorrow.

Kanye it broke my heart when your mother passed away. It was hard for me to take it in because I was just watching you and her on the Ellen show. I know what it is like to lose someone close to you, I lost my grandmother and she meant the world to everybody she ever came in contact with like your mother. I ain’t gonna lie it’s gonna be hard, But what we did to get through was remember all her famous sayings, looks, and feelings. U will never forget her, so let he legacy live on through you, and when you have kids let them know who she really was. Again I am so sorry for your lost, Just know that you mother is watching over you more than ever now. Love ya, GOD bless ya, and you will be in my prayers so you can get some peace.

Losing a parent is very difficult and nothing com pares to it. Your mother is irreplaceable and no one could ever come close Four years ago I lost my mother to cancer and its not a day that goes by and I don’t think of her. So to you Kanye remember the good times and cherish the memories and know that you can alwys talk to her she’ll be by your side forever. Now she’s your guardian angel.

Kanye i support what ur doing. I know its hard, but if being on tour is what you feel you need to be doing then do ur thing man i feel u. I pray that everyday gets easier for u and i cant begin to imagine ur pain. I’ve lost a love one too but i know its nothing compared to losin a mother. My prayers go to u and the rest of ur family. I love u Kanye and just know she is lookin down on u and smilin and that she’s proud of her son. *~*R.I.P DONDA WEST*~*

i can not say that it’s going to be ok beacuse it’s not all i can say that the only way you can get thur this is to ask god to help you at time like this your mother is in a better place now god call his angle home( mis west) he perpared and resting place and she is at pace dont worry about your mother you will see her again just look up to heven and you know that she is watching over you. i lost my mother years ago it’s was head for me someday but with out the lord in my life i don know how i would of made it just remember that god will call of us home someday. just keep on doing what you doing and that is sing and makeing nice and beuaiful music god is with you always we all love you kenys you all not a long the world is behind you with lots of love and prays.
