Oh Wow: The Kanye West/Lady GaGa “Fame Kills” Tour Is D.O.A.

kanyegaga1Holy crap, turns out the rumors about the Kanye West / Lady GaGa arena tour being off were true; Live Nation has announced that the tour’s been canceled, and that refunds will be issued. (Well, you got this one, MediaTakeOut.) More to come, I’m sure… [ABC / Earlier; HT: AV Club]

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

    Aw, lame, I woulda gone.

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

    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.
  • 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."
  • NeverEnough
    @ObtuseIntolerant: Hey! Are you going to see the Jonas Brothers in Norfolk? I can't talk anyone I know into going...
  • Halfwit
    Just as a heads up... you've been cited by cited as the "via" source by Pitchfork.
  • ghostyhead
    CNN headline: "Kanye West's 'Fame Kills' tour meets swift end."

    Ha!
  • chachwitablog
    I'm pretty sure we can blame Kanye for Chicago not getting the 2016 Olympics, too.
  • @chachwitablog: Something tells me that there were other factors at play...
  • chachwitablog
    @Maura: aw way to be a downer! true, though. I'd just LIKE to blame Kanye for this.
