Kanye West has cancelled his second Vancouver tour date of The Yeezus Tour. In a media advisory posted to the Rogers Arena website on behalf of Kanye’s recording label Island Def Jam, the cancellation is attributed to damage of vital stage equipment following a vehicle crash.
“Yesterday, on the road to Vancouver, 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,”; the statement read.
“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.”;
Kanye’s original Vancouver concert date on October 20 was also cancelled hours before he was scheduled to hit the stage.
The Denver and Minneapolis tour dates have also been postponed to make time for appropriate repairs of the equipment.
The third rescheduled Vancouver concert date has yet to be announced.
