  1. Fame Kills tour. Fame kills… tour? Yes, this will be the music blog headline of choice tonight.

  2. Aw, lame, I woulda gone.

  3. I’m more surprised that MTO got something right than the Tour being cancelled. It’s felt doomed for a while.

  4. I always suspected Kanye would immolate his own career eventually.

    This wasn’t exactly how I thought it’d go down (make entire country, including first black president, hate you because you thought you were being chivalrous over some lady’s denied award), but I guess he always has to be original.

  5. AV club comment made me LOL:

    “Kanye I respect you and I’m gonna let you quit but Michael Jackson had one of the biggest cancelled tours of all time.”

  6. @ObtuseIntolerant: Hey! Are you going to see the Jonas Brothers in Norfolk? I can’t talk anyone I know into going…

  7. Just as a heads up… you’ve been cited by cited as the “via” source by Pitchfork.

  8. CNN headline: “Kanye West’s ‘Fame Kills’ tour meets swift end.”

    Ha!

  9. I’m pretty sure we can blame Kanye for Chicago not getting the 2016 Olympics, too.

  10. @chachwitablog: Something tells me that there were other factors at play

  11. @Maura: aw way to be a downer! true, though. I’d just LIKE to blame Kanye for this.
