Following his recent diss on ex-friends Beyonce and Jay-Z, Kanye West announced that he's not pushing through the remaining 34 shows of his Saint Pablo Tour. Rushed to the hospital while handcuffed, Kanye West might be suffering from mental illness.
While on tour, he gave a monologue declaring his support for Donald Trump. Suddenly, the news about his show cancellations comes as an added cringe-worthy move for the singer. The usually outspoken West has given no personal comment for this decision and his rep announced that full ticket refund would be given.
According to an estimate posted by Billboard, the ticket refunds will rack up about $27.3 million, which will hurt Kanye's intake for this year. In an additional analysis of the situation, Billboard also made an example of Lady Gaga's Born This Way Ball Tour when it abruptly ended due to a needed surgery. The said cancellation cost the singer $25 million dollars worth of ticket refunds.
The cancellation was made on November 20 and as published in Rolling Stone, Kanye was set to perform at the Los Angeles' Forum, which was the same venue when he cancelled another show due to vocal problems. Kanye West, known for his strong remarks, has been on a ranting rampage lately that prompts the media and audiences to think he is in the middle of a mental breakdown. Rolling Stone notes that after his Sunday show cancellation. His Instagram account showed a flood of 99 Margiela fashion spreads photos with no caption on them.
Based on the breakdown Billboard did after Lady Gaga's Born This Way Ball Tour Cancellation, Kanye is likely to be facing a more difficult situation since his reasons have not been disclosed and remain unclear as of the moment. However, recent personal events could have triggered this episode such as Kim Kardashian getting robbed in Paris, and his "friendship over" with Jay-Z and Beyonce. What do you think caused this mental breakdown and is it even worse than what's publicized?
