Lady GaGa and Kanye West shocked fans last week when they announced, without explanation, that they’d be canceling their highly anticipated Fame Kills Tour. On Friday, MTV News caught up with Ms. GaGa on the red carpet of the Billboard Women in Music event and while she didn’t get into specifics about the cancellation, she did say that West would be taking some time off and she would be hitting the road on her own.
“Well, actually, it was a mutual decision to cancel the tour. But I’m not taking any time off, so I’ll be leaving just a week later than I was supposed to on my own solo tour. It will be the same places. So I will see you guys there. I’m putting out my re-release as well — The Fame Monster on November 24th.”
She added that an announcement about who will be joining her on this new trek will be made soon. As for the look of the tour, she told reporters she’d be starting from scratch.
Gaga also responded to 50 Cent’s recent disparaging comments calling her now canceled tour with Kanye “The Gay Tour.” “I think it’s sad — and I think that nobody in any genre of music should accommodate homophobia.”
Fiddy has since apologized…
