The West and Lady Gaga tour was supposed to kick off Nov 10 in Phoenix. Lady Gaga said the two mutually decided to cancel the tour. She said that West is going to take some time off, but Im not. Gaga made the comments before accepting the Rising Star honour at Billboards annual Women in Music event in New York, where Beyonce was honoured as woman of the year. In announcing the cancellation of the Fame Kills tour Thursday, Live Nation offered no explanation. The tour was to have hit Anaheim on Nov. 15 and Los Angeles on Nov. 16. The company said that refunds would be available at the point of purchase and that tickets purchased online or over the phone will be refunded automatically. Gaga said her tour will start in mid-November, but there were no immediate details on dates and locations. The Fame Kills tour had been problematic from the start, especially after Wests appearance at the MTV Video Music Awards on Sept. 13, where he took the microphone from teenage singer Taylor Swift as she was about to begin an acceptance speech. He subsequently apologized and told Jay Leno the next day he planned to take some time off. LA Times
