Oct 2, (THAINDIAN NEWS) After what had transpired at the MTV 2009 VMAs between Kanye West and Taylor Swift, there has never been an iota of doubt in any sane mind that Kanye West would remain in the news for quite some days to come, post the VMAs, for his wild antics at the awards ceremony. In fact, just after the celebrated awards ceremony, West’s name had been flooding every mode of media, discussing his rude act towards the country singer’s win at the awards. Now, West is once more in the news, after it has come to light that his impending “Fame Kills Tour” alongside Lady Gaga, has been shelved.

The news has come to light when a press release from the tour promoter, Live Nation made its way to the media. What is more surprising about the whole thing is that, no reasons for the abrupt cancellation has been put forth by any of the parties involved or Live Nation, as has been reported by the Associated Press. This news about the cancellation comes just mere days after the dates for the performance were announced.

The press release by Live Nation on Thursday, also states that refunds for the tickets have been made available from the point at which the ticket had been bought. For the bookings that have been made via phone or online, the refunds will be automatic.

However, there are circulating rumors that seem to indicate that the cancellation of the tour may have been in response to the negativity that had been generated by West’s rude interruption of Taylor Swift while the latter was making her award acceptance speech at the VMAs.
