Rapper Kanye West has officially cancelled the “Fame Kills” tour that featured pop star Lady Gaga. No reasons have been given for the abrupt discontinue of a 2 month performance scheduled for Canada and the US.
The tour promoters assure that refunds will be issued.
Although there is speculation behind the sudden stop, Lady Gaga says that the choice to end tour was, “…a mutual decision. Kanye's going to take some time off.”
The decision to finish the tour early could be the result of the negative publicity from West’s outburst at the MTV Video Music Awards show when he stole the spotlight from country music artist Taylor Swift. The tour may have also been cancelled due to the high ticket prices.
Plans are unknown for internationally-known rapper but Lady Gaga insists that she will continue her solo tour soon.
