Live Nation has just confirmed that the Kanye West & Lady Gaga tour has been cancelled due to negative press Kanye has received from the MTV VMA incident. The highly anticipated tour dubbed “Fame Kills” was set to kick off next month. Live Nation has also confirmed that they will issue refunds for all tickets purchased thus far.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! Who cares about the VMA’s, Taylor who? I could care less about that shit, F all that!! the show must go on!! WTF…I’m devastated
how did this happen? this was suppose to be his year. this was his year. how can everything just fall apart? but just like the crash maybe he will use the flames and rise through the ash.
well done..he deserves it all!!! karma baby
holy shit.
that is exactly what i thought, CRUMBLIES!!! because i felt like this would be epic to talented piano players choppin it up on the stage.
stupid reason to kill a tour.
Are u freakin kidding me….that sucks!
B.S….people are really freaking out over this cause it was a young white girl. I’m sorry Kanye didn’t break the law, and yes it was in poor taste and is reprehensible…but let’s be real, he apologized she accepted. It’s over with. The man is not a criminal.
Are you freaking kidding me? If this had happened to a black person Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson would’ve been all over it! He’s an ass and now he’s losing lots of money! Whoo hoo!
It did happen to a black person that night and his name was JAY-Z and ALICIA KEYS but no one cares nearly enough about that and last I checked AL SHARPTON has not organized a march..
Why in the world would Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson respond to something that occured on the VMA’s?! Sure it was in poor taste and rude – move on!!!! When a person apologizes you accept it and move on. This isn’t even a matter of black or white – it’s about someone being wrong. Yes Kanye was wrong and he took away Taylor’s moment – we all agree!!! Now stop making everything a political/racial issue and put things into perspective. There are bigger issues in the world than this (child molestation, incest, poverty, diseases, etc) and wishing someone to lose money because they made a mistake is a reflection on your own character. Are you without fault Lois? Have you ever been rude? Did you realize it later and regret it? Yeah.

I smell a publicity stunt……Cause, now it’ll get more buzzed for getting cancelled and getting put back on again….
I with you! All Gaga has to do is drop Kanye and pick up another to do a tour..
Lady Gag is still going tour. WATCH!
thinking the same thing. probably be put back on next year. anyway at least he can go to rehab now like he wanted to do cause there is no tour in the way.
@ Argie and Mr. Washington…i consign your statements!! That is some
BULL-FUCKIN-SHIT!!!!
NOOOOOOOOO!!! lol
I think kanye backed out over all the shit he was catching from other rappers for co headlining a predominately gay tour. It would have ruined his career.
i think mega got it right. i’m sure jay had some input too. i know lady gaga’s shows are off the hook, kanye sameways..but me as a rap fan who would want to see the kanye show would not want to be surrounded my lady gaga’s crowd.. in all honesty
there are so many things wrong about each of your comments, i don’t even know where to start.
I agree to a certain extent – I don’t agree with homosexuality but I wouldn’t care rather or not I was around them. The part I agree with is I would love to see Kanye in concert but I’m not a fan of Gaga at all. Has nothing to do with sexuality, just not a fan of the music. So I’d skip that!!!
it’s so unfair =(
Kanye needs a break to get some help. He’s broken. That’s way more important that some tour.
Well that’s 2 bad. I thought those 2 would make a really good show. Lady GaGa was on Wild 94.9 FM here in the SF Bay Area thee other day and she was talkin’ about how the show was goin’ 2 go and it sounded like a really dope idea. Basically Lady GaGa would start out her performance at 1 end of the stage progressin’ in2 fame and Kanye would be on the other tryin’ 2 become un-famous and they would eventually meet in the center of the stage…somethin’ like that.
FUCK U KANYE! and im a fan thats sad.
WELL DONE KANYE IS A DICKHEAD….
Rap isn’t the way it used to be. So far one of the only rappers I heard were talking shit about the tour was 50 Cent. We all know 50 represents the stereotypical rap artist who tries to portray this hardcore thug type who raps mostly about money, cars, and woman. Of course this dude is a homophobe and obviously is trying to get attention. He’s the new Mike Tyson, once at the top of the game and later fell off. But anyways Kanye helped push that trend for rappers and hip hop fans to start wearing and knowing designer brands. Who mostly designs those? Obviously gay men. I seriously doubt that Kanye would cancel this tour because of what other rappers thought. Those who didn’t know about gay men designing those clothes must be fucking stupid, ignorant, and hypocrites. Oh wait never mind I forgot how self-conscious many people are about their looks today so they probably are too stupid to care. Plus Yeezy is like one of the biggest targets in the rap game who people mistakenly believe is a homosexual. Dude says he supports them, knows designers, wears the clothes and all of a sudden he’s gay? Wow thats stupid.
Oh and by the way WHERE THE FUCK ARE MOST OF THE NOMINATED ARTISTS ON THE SONGS AND ALBUMS OF THE DECADE LISTS? Kanye and HOV are at the top of those lists (pitchfork) and they are with others of different genre’s, races, genders, and sexual preferences. I didn’t see Taylor and the Disney mafia which I heard are like ummm OMG DA BIGGEZZT TOP NEW BEST ARTISTS OFFFFF DA YEARZ!!!!! Professional critics who mostly put bad reviews about many mainstream artists praise Kanye’s talent and people need to shut up when they say this man is talentless because then they don’t know shit.
SADLY THIS COUNTRY IS STILL STUPID. ONE MAN MADE A STUPID MISTAKE EVEN THOUGH IT WASN’T A FUCKING BIG DEAL, APOLOGIZED, THE VICTIM ACCEPTED THE APOLOGY, YET HE IS STILL ONE OF THE TOP NEWS STORIES, BEING SENT TO HELL BY ALL THESE PEOPLE. DAMN PEOPLE GOT TO STOP POKING THEIR BRAINS AND EXPECTING ASSHOLES LIKE FOX NEWS, MTV, AND THE MAJORITY OF THE MAINSTREAM RADIO TO BRING THEM BULLSHIT. THEY GOT TO GET OFF THEIR ASSES AND MAKE THIS WORLD BETTER. FOLLOWING STUPID SHIT IS JUST MAKING US LOOK MORE LIKE DUMBASSES.
ALL CAPS LOCK!!!!Yeah man!lol
Are you stupid calling everyone else stupid? blame game. people can only be accountable for themselves. Kanye did this not MTV or Fox. Kanye cant rhyme worth a shit anyway.
Oh also probably due to not so good sales, the VMA incident, and/or the Leno interview and him saying he was going to take a break is most likely why this happened.
Plus Gaga still wanted to work with Kanye even after the VMA incident so yeah.
fuck, and i just bought floor seats at the live nation pre-sale! im so dissapointed
One simple question: Why must we continue to turn any issue that is between a black and white person a race issue. Kanye pull a stupid as move and did not get away with it. It has nothing to do with race.
As a successful professional black man, I am hindered more by my own race pulling the race card than any white couterpart.
When it is about race, I am there to support, but when it race.
Again, this is about a dumb ass move that has hurt Kanye’s mass appeal.
^ why yall keep dissin Kanye & 50 when they are both massively rich?
How do u know? Ur not their accountant.
Becasue this has nothing to do with wealth.
The tour probably had low ticket sales due to many factors.
WHOA! People are going hard on this one.
I’m pissed because I paid to join that damn fan club just so i can get into the presale. paid 150 for my ticket and the shit is canceled. I get my 150 but what about the 45 for the damn fan club.
Kanye is lucky I’m loyal.
–Sidebar– This concert became talk about 8 mos ago, but there have been difficulties on both ends the whole time.
this is such BS! Taylor swift’s fans who bitch about what kanye did wouldnt go on these concerts anyways! pointless. i thought us is a democratic country you’re allowed to say whatever the hell you want. and stop saying that omg he hurt her so bad, seriously. he said he’s happy for her
i mean c’mon it wasnt personal like that.
It’s not about Kanye fans versus Taylor fans, I don’t like either one. It’s about having some class and being appropriate at the right time.
I hope Kanye learns a valuable lesson from this, and keeps his mouth shut in the future!
Gay Fish Tour 2010
Buckshot: “Seems like you can’t sing or rap these days
Without Autotune in the back these days
Well fuck that! I got somethin to say
With brown blunts, green weed and the smoker’s gray, see
the best to do it was Roger Troutman
Nah shorty, T-Pain didn’t come out then!
I was about ten, had striped Adidas
Raised from the back in the days, all types of leaders
Now, I’m like DANG, they sound the same
Buck voice is original, he off the range
Dr. J, Barry White, WHOA
Or Barry Manilow, the flow like DAG he nice
So, keep that original flow
That Bucktown, Duck Down, that shit you knows
And I don’t flip no O’s
2000-and-right-now, when I spit they know”
KRS-One: “This ain’t a diss to nobody’s art
Cause Afrika Bambaataa really gave it a start
You go back in the history of rap man
And you’ll see classic jams like Planet Rock and Pac Jam
Go online, look up Kraftwerk
Everything we doin is past work!
We already wore that hat, those pants and that shirt
So do you man if that works!!
But we really here to talk about all the copies
Cause when it comes to hip-hop, we the orthodoxy
Cats poorly copy, copy sloppy
In that section, young people should not be!”
I’d much rather see Jay-Z and Kanye in a concert!!! Jay & Ye – when are you guys coming to Memphis? That’s all I need to know!!!!! I will be in the front row rocking to you both!!!
I don’t believe thats the reason like seriously. Taylor sold over 20 mill records she will be fine get over the little white girl. The concert would have been awsome to see though I already had tix smh. And to Sleezy Boi You don’t listen to rap if you think Ye can’t spit! U buggin out
20 mill ?!!??? try again…
Why and Why?
I just can’t get the point, the show must go on. A lot of fans is already expecting them to make one of the great show ever. And it was cancelled? What’s the real reason behind this? I smell something fishy…I don’t think that it has been cancelled due to taylor? That’s just a so pathetic excuse to the public. Can’t they provide a more rational excuse for the cancellation of Lady Gaga and Kayne West National Tour.
