Kanye West Cancels More Shows as 'Yeezus' Tour Resumes


Kanye West

Earlier this month, Kanye West announced that he postponed his "Yeezus" tour indefinitely due to a truck accident that damaged the property of his concert. Now, the tour is set to resume with some dates being rescheduled and some others being canceled.


"The Yeezus Tour will resume its scheduled routing on Saturday, November 16th at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, PA," reads a statement posted on the rapper's website. "The Chicago, Toronto, and Detroit dates have been rescheduled."

Meanwhile, shows in Vancouver, Denver, Colombus, Ohio, Minneapolis and St. Louis have all been scrapped "due to routing logistics."

"Yeezus" tour kicked off last month in Seattle. A few days later, he canceled the Vancouver tour on October 31 after a truck carrying equipment for the show was involved in an accident. "A truck carrying The Yeezus Tour's custom-made video truss and 60-ft circular LED screen was in an accident that damaged the gear beyond repair," West's team said in a statement.

"This gear is central to the staging of The Yeezus Tour, and central to the creative vision put forth by Kanye West and his design team at DONDA," the statement continued. "As a result of this event, it is impossible to put on the show and The Yeezus Tour will be postponed until these essential pieces can be reengineered and refabricated."
