Rapper Kanye West canceled the last 21 dates of his Saint Pablo Tour without any reason or explanation for doing so. A representative did, however, say tickets will be “fully refunded at point of purchase.” West has not made any comments himself about the cancellation, but the news has been confirmed by Rolling Stone and Live Nation.
The news is following a pattern West has been setting forth this past week after several odd outbursts and abrubt cancelations. He was supposed to play in Los Angeles on Sunday after canceling previous gig–but that show was called off. On Saturday, West had a show in Sacramento which ended only thirty minutes into the performance after a long rant that outed close friends Beyonce and Jay Z. To top it all off, the controversial artist made comments about how if he were to have voted, (which he didn’t) it would have been for Trump. This was while he was in one of the most Democratic areas in the country, San Jose, CA.
More recently, Kanye West was admitted to the hospital on Monday after police responded to “a disturbance call that became medical emergency call. There is no confrmaition so far if the person who made the call was Kanye, but NBC news said an unidentified source claimed Kanye was checked in for his own health and safety.
Kanye has been going hard the last few months promoting his most recent album The Life of Pablo on his world tour, and will hopefully be back on his feet soon so we can get a little more Yeezy in our lives.
