The Fame Kills tour, which was to feature Kanye West and Lady Gaga, has been canceled.
Live Nation announced the news in a brief statement Thursday that did not offer any explanation. Refunds are available for those who brought tickets for the tour. It was to kick off Nov. 10 in Phoenix and was scheduled to run through at least January.
Tickets were to go on sale on Saturday for the tour’s Miami stop, which would’ve taken place Dec. 9 at AmericanAirlines Arena.
The name of the tour was to be “Fame Kills” – a sentiment West may have been feeling in recent weeks. The Grammy-winning rapper has endured a firestorm of negative publicity since he hijacked the award-winning moment of country-pop sweetheart Taylor Swift at last month’s MTV Video Music Awards.
Tickets are on sale this weekend for:
• Chilled-out rockers Rusted Root head to Revolution Live in Fort Lauderdale on Nov. 28.
• Galactic, a jam band who knows their way around big-time beats, plays Revolution on Jan. 9.

Kanye…keep your mouth shut…EXCEPT when singing…no cares about what you have to say anyway…
hahah good. kayne learn to keep your mouth shut. didnt your mom tell you if you have nothing nice to say do not say anything at all!!
Kayne didnt your mom teach you to keep your mouth shut if you have nothing to say. what comes around goes around. you lost alot of fans.
he’s done
Damn that global warming!!
Perhaps because he is an insane douchebag?
Shes skanky. Needs a breast lift badly.
((((((( SHUDDER)))))))
she’s a star and monkeys just flew outta my azzzz.
That’s what he gets. What goes around comes around. Karma is a bitch
Good…now Kanye will have time to learn how to sing instead of using electronic trickery!
Though I agree that Swift is a no-talent wanna be, Kanye should not have put his career in Jeopardy to expose her.
Kanye West and Tranny Gaga…. who needs ‘em ?? Not me. Hopefully this cancellation will open a date for a show with TALENTED performers.
Kanye,
I’m gonna let you finish but you are the sorriest quitter, show canceling, arse-wad who deserves to meet Chris Brown in a dark alley. Or perhaps, 50 cent.
omg… why they hating on kanye,he was right beyonce should have got the award anyway not swift well wateva they do im sure it wont stop kanye’s dough from rolling in
Too funny–the “Fame Kills” Tour. What an appropriate name for a Kanye West tour! His fame killed his common sense and his ego will kill his income for a while. C’Ya Kanye, you egomaniacal tool.
Kayne is stupid he wuz stupid f0 doinq dat
All u kanye haters need to shut up. U don’t know anything & to say he’s done is stupid. Just cuz he can say what he wants & still makes money & has fans doesn’t mean u have to hate on him. Get over it already.
Good-I love Lady Gaga, but was not planning on going to the show because that loser piece of sh*t, Kanye West, was going to be getting my hard earned money. The tour was cancelled because of Kayne West and his child-like rude behavior. I say Lady Gaga should just tour on her own–she does not need Kayne West. Kayne West just needs to drop dead-he sucks anyway.
Lady Gaga–Love Game Tour 2009-2010
Yeezy Baby:
You are a moron. Just shut up and keep supporting that pathetic loser Kayne West! I guess you are a loser too.
Go back to the ghetto and smoke your crack pipe!
To Yeezy Baby and Obama Supporter: Go back to your Riviera Beach ghetto and smoke some crack, after you stop at popeyes and eat some chicken; but before you go use your foodstamps to bilk the government out of millions to pay for your 25 kids(with 25 baby daddy or momma) to eat. No one wants to hear dumb uneducated stupidity. SO why don’t you go and rob someone or sit on the corner and drink some old english?
Good. Maybe he’ll commit suicide. Or go to Chicago.
Just like the thug gangs in Chicago and the rest of the country, West is simply human debris. Where’s our “president” re the honor student beating/killing?
I JUST READ ON LIVE DAILY.COM THAT THE TOUR WAS CANCELLED DUE TOP LADY GAGA AND KAYNE WEST NOT GETTING ALONG WELL ENOUGH TO WORK TOGETHER AND POOR TICKET SALES. WHY WOULD ANYONE WANT TO PAY MONEY TO SEE KAYNE WEST. LADY GAGA SHOULD TOUR ON HER OWN AND HER SHOWS WOULD BE SELL OUT–SHE IS THE NEXT MADONNA.
Hey Suck It:
Good one!
That is too F*CKING FUNNY!!!!
It was cancelled due to poor ticket sales. Nobody wants to see that pathetic loser, Kanye West. Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
Lady Gaga is the bomb-she needs to just tour on her own, now she would sell out arenas. Oh, I better shut up on Kayne West will call me a racist. Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
TRANNY GAGA – from a drag show on a bad cruise. Come on people,that’s talent? Maybe a mall tour would be better.GAGA will be gone in a year anyway.
Kanye your done.
Yo Taylor, I’m really happy for you, I’ma Let you finish, but Beyonce has one of the best videos of all time!
