Lady Gaga and Kanye West Tour is Off

The Kanye West and Lady Gaga ‘Fame Kills’ tour has been cancelled as concert promoters Live Nation confirmed recently. No official reason has been given for the cancellation. Refunds are available at the point of purchase. Tickets purchased online and via phone will be refunded automatically. Well that’s a bummer. It would have been an epic joint tour. I wonder if the bad press that the rapper has been getting has anything to do with it. If I was Lady Gaga, I know I wouldn’t want to get associated with that kind of guy. Could this be the end of Kanye’s career?
