Kanye West: Now you see him, now you don’t.
Ah, last-minute cancellations: The bane of a well-honed schedule.
Despite what it says in my printed “Hot Tix” column in today’s Denver Post Entertainment section, Kayne West and Lady Gaga will NOT be playing the Pepsi Center on Dec. 2 for their “Fame Kills” tour. In fact, the whole tour was canceled yesterday afternoon — two days after it was announced, and two days before tickets were supposed to go on sale for the Denver date. No reason was given by promoters Live Nation.
Blame early pre-printing deadlines for the print appearance (we send our Friday sections to the printer on Wednesday nights). You can also blame them for the appearance of Paramore in my “Best Shows” column today. The mall rockers were supposed to play the Fillmore on Sunday, but an e-mail from Atlantic Records this morning revealed that lead singer Hayley Williams has gotten laryngitis, forcing the band to cancel and reschedule all dates through Oct. 9.
Check out the full text of both press releases:
