MUSIC NEWS: KANYE WEST & LADY GAGA ‘FAME KILLS’ TOUR CANCELED SAYS LIVE NATION

Thursday, October 1, 2009

Live Nation announced today (October 1st) that the Kanye West and Lady Gaga’s highly anticipated tour has been canceled. This comes just days after tickets went on sale.

Live Nation released a brief statement and did not offer any explanation. Refunds are available for those who brought tickets for the tour. It was to kick off Nov. 10 in Phoenix and was scheduled to run through at least January.

If you remember, West told Jay Leno he was planning to take time off in wake of the VMA Taylor Swift fiasco.

I think its good Kanye taking some time off to get his mind right. I hope he leaves Amber behind in order to do that though cuz she seems like a huge distration to him.

Whats the tea

Thursday, October 1, 2009 /

Man I’m kinda disappointed, I know how to separate an artist form the person and the music and I can’t front Kanye got some good music. Oh well I still want to see Lady Gaga, I wonder if she’s going to do one by herself.

I’M NOT THAT UPSET BUT AFTER SEEING LADY GAGAS’ PERFORMANCE AT THE VMA’S I WAS DEFINITELY INTERESTED IN WHAT SHE HAD IN STORED FOR THE TOUR. OH WELL. LIFE GOES ON.

Yep thats the best move for him. Ms Lady can jump on another tour and be aight but I’m really concerned about Ye.

….and this IS exactly what NEEDS to be done. I don’t THINK “rehab or anger management” is neccessary. Stop puttin him in the “crazy house”…..MAN can’t HELP Kanye in THIS season (obviously) only GOD at this point can save his soul in its fulliness! I Folk aint trynna see it like THIS but it’s is cleaely divine intervention, and Kanye doesn’t have to explain anything about it…its just TIME for him to DO something else!

And expect to HEAR soon of Amber Rose being put off of his arm likewise…..she’s who’s going to PUT the icing on the cake for his total change. It would BE nice to see after that people coming in his LIFE who can BLESS it. Inspiration is needed in this hour….greatly. Kanye will he comes outta this, WILL BE A CHANGED MAN…and because he decided too. Expect him to “cancel” some MORE things in the near future before the YEAR is up. GO KANYE! Live life bruh.

Gosh, all the man did was state his opinion and all of a sudden he soul needs saving? GTFOH.

Yes, he could have done it differently but some people are seriously going over the top.

Kanye’s only problem is that he is attention seeking. He’s BEEN doing stuff like that. He just did it once too often.

Anyway, good luck to them.

I surely wasn’t checking for it so hey..

But I hate when concerts get cancelled. Especially when you get super hype for them..

I would have only gone to see Lady Gaga anyway, I know she would put on an amazing show. I think Live Nation should keep her on the tour and she just let her do her own show. Play the same cities that they were going to play, all she would have to do is add a few more songs to her set list.

needed therapy and ego fueled talent aside, me thinks he’s learned his lesson. only time will tell. i’m still waiting for him to pop off on a grown black man or someone who’ll slap the bleep out of him for popping off…not a perez hilton or a taylor swift.

Friday, October 2, 2009 /

YES!

I dont know the true reason why this is happening, but Kanye needs a moment to himself…and the concert may not be the best move for him personally…

And besides, the FAME Kills concept was whack! Very theatrical, and not far my common sense.

Whew!

THIS TOTALLY SUCKS. I WAS REALLY LOOKING FOWARD TO GOING JUST TO SEE LADY GAGA. COULD CARE LESS ABOUT KANYE. HOPEFULLY MISS GAGA GOES OUT ON HER OWN. CUZ I SO HAVE TO SEE HER. IF ANY INDICATION FROM THE VMA’S HER SHOW IS GONNA BE GREAT.

IN LIFE we ALL make mistakes in hopes of getting it right…but for those of us given the life that most ppl dream of and we mess over it or take it for granted…things like this happen…I personally hope that God has mercy on Kanye because in my eyes he is a genius…I just think that he needed to be humbled…learn to appreciate this HUGE blessing that he has been given before God takes it all away just as fast as HE allowed him to have it.

the gay tour got canceled? hell maybe it wasnt gay enough.

Gaga should go on tour by herself or with Shakira or something.

That was a fast tour!
It’s a shame, I think it would have been an interested tour, really. They’re both inventive, creative and aren’t afraid to take risks.

That’s a damn shame. A lot of people were hyped up for it. But if he was planning on cancelling why not cancel after the whole VMA fiasco? There must be another reason

38.

vox populi... common sense isn't that common

Man was I hyped for this tour. Oh well.

AWwwwwwwwwwwww…pysch…who cares….dont like KANYE and his bald headed prostitute thats inspiring Rihanna to look like a slut…the ROC NATION CULT will die down as well…Kanye is just the FIRST to go down. him and that cocky azz arrogance of his…I knew it was only a matter of time b4 he shitted on his damn self. smh. I liked him in the beginning he was seeming like a new school COMMON vs MOS DEF……but then hollywierd got a hold of him and after that it was a wrap.

I am glad it was cancelled. It serves Kanye West right for thinking that he can continue to act like a butt hole in public and get away with it. This time he messed with America’s new sweetheart - Taylor Swift and it back fired on him big time.

But something in the back of my mind keeps telling me that Beyonce was in on this too. Which explains why she is going over board with singing to these sick kids trying to make herself look good in the public eye. If she was a part of this and Kanye is the fall guy, it will come out in the end.

@38

I agree Beyonce and Jayz probably plotted to ruin that boy’s career. Kanye always had that universal appeal. Jayz must be jealous of it. He never thought his new talent would do better than him.

Both Kanye and Lady Gaga are wack artist anyway.

Why do people get so upset when someone makes a comment about Beyonce that they don’t like #40.

Friday, October 2, 2009 /

I totally agree with #38, I thought it was weird that Beyonce was all of a sudden singing to sick children after the VMA fiasco. I knew it was staged anyway. And Kanye did not pull out of that tour to take a break, if that was the case, the tickets would have never gone on sale. Dude ruined his reputation plain and simple. It’s a shame to cause he is so talented.

I’m TIGHT as hell this shyt is cancelled, but happy i didnt get my tixs yet :-)

I really hope it isnt cause of this Taylor Swift biz, CAUSE ITS TIME 2 MOVE ON.

also Angel, I dont this has 2 do with what he said on Jay Leno, I think it’s really b/c of Swift, and b/c he has a court appearannce coming up in a few weeks.

Damn…i never would’ve went to a Gaga concert but her music is kind of a guilty pleasure, so I would’ve just been interested in seeing her show live

And Gaga fans probably never would’ve went to a kanye concert (but secretly can’t deny that the music is good) so it really would have opened up both artists to a whole new set of audiences…

O well, hopefully they will do this sometime next year, got potential to be a HUGE moneymaker so i’m sure live nation is pissed too lol

Lady Gaga should go ahead and headline her own tour.

She has a huge following now and will be ok without Kanye.

Poor Kanye, needs to go and take a break.

Beyonce was in on that VMA shit. That is why she is going out of her way to sing to these sick little children. She is doing it all for publicity and not from the heart. What is done in the dark shall come to light. Beyonce and her Daddy will pay for all of the people they have done wrong.

LOL good. I really don’t understad why people on here are so forgiving for this jacka**! He’s been doing stunts like this for years. He’s very classless, arrogant, and just an a**h***! I really cannot stand this dude or his music. His rapping voice sucks. Lady Gaga, to be honest and mean, if she died I really wouln’t care. She makes me so mad every time I see her. This is the perfect example of how IMAGE is all that matters when it comes to music and it is beyond sad. And don’t come with that, “well then don’t read about her.” Sh** I see her on headlines when my damn YAHOO pops up!
