Kanye West postpones ‘Yeezus’ tour dates indefinitely
Kanye West has postponed a number of tour dates indefinitely.
The rapper was forced to cancel his ‘Yeezus’ show in Anaheim last Friday due to “production logistics”, but has now axed more concerts after some essential props were destroyed in an accident.
West’s label issued the following statement: “Yesterday, on the road to Vancouver, a truck carrying The Yeezus Tour’s custom-made video truss and 60-ft circular LED screen was in an accident that damaged the gear beyond repair.
“This gear is central to the staging of The Yeezus Tour, and central to the creative vision put forth by Kanye West and his design team at DONDA.
“As a result of this event, it is impossible to put on the show and The Yeezus Tour will be postponed until these essential pieces can be reengineered and refabricated.
“Kanye West will not compromise on bringing the show, as it was originally envisioned and designed, to his fans.
“The Vancouver, Denver and Minneapolis dates have been postponed. Further details on the affected tour dates will be announced shortly.”
