Kanye West and Lady Gaga's "Fame Kills" tour cancelled! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A U.S. and Canada tour by Kanye West and Lady Gaga has been canceled with no reason given just weeks after the rap star came under public fire for humiliating country star Taylor Swift at an awards ceremony.

Concert promoter Live Nation said in a statement on Thursday that the "Fame Kills" tour, that was due to kick off in Phoenix, Arizona on November 10 and run through January, had been canceled with refunds available at the point of sale.

West came under fire after an outburst at the MTV Video Music wards when he grabbed the microphone as country teen star Taylor Swift was responding to her best female video award to say that R&B star Beyonce should have won Swift's trophy.

The Grammy winner has since apologized to Swift and expressed regret twice on the Web and in a TV appearance on "The Jay Leno Show" for his behavior that drew boos from the crowd and prompted a ban of his music by some radio stations in California and Florida.

West told Leno last month that he needed to take "time off," saying he hadn't taken enough time to grieve for his mother who died in November 2007.

"I need to, after this, take some time off and just analyze how I'm going to make it through the rest of this life, how I'm going to improve," he told Leno last month.

He needs to take 2 more years off, and JUST focus on himself. not the album, not touring, not collaborations, maybe not even producing cause he is really big on that and a very good one, and just focus on his mistakes and decisions, and how to be a better person, and less of a moron.

Rumor is that he's going into alcohol rehab. Also, another site (that's not necessarily reliable) said that Lady GaGa isn't happy to be with him since the bad publicity. I hope she tours on her own, but I wanted to see both.

Ironic thing is, Kanye West's protege Kid Cudi had a song on his album that recently dropped (I like Cudi, song is decent) called "Make Her Say (I Poke Her Face)" with Common and Kanye featured on it. The sample was a slowed down version of that Lady Gaga Poker Face song, and now she is touring with him, or was at least about to. Yeah I don't consider him an alcohol but he's most definitely drunk at all these award shows and probably drinks regularly, so that is the best thing for him to do and to go into, to stop that habit. Kanye just needs to take a break, and not talk

. I love his music though, regardless.

Oh, yeah I liked Make Her Say, they probably would have done it on the tour.

The rumor is that he went to a concert recently and went crazy over the type of chicken they served backstage:

He definitely needs to see someone...lol.
