10 Craziest Reasons Musicians Cancelled Gigs
4. Kanye Had More Important Things To Do On Several Occasions
Kanye West is notoriously strange, and he's let his fans down on multiple occasions for strange, and occasionally appropriate reasons. When his wife, Kim Kardashian, was robbed at gunpoint, he stopped mid-song to tell the fans that something personal had come up before running from the stage.
That was excusable, but it wasn't the first time Ms. Kardashian had an impact resulting in the cancelation of one of Kanye's shows. On the second night of his Yeezus Tour, he canceled the performance for "unforeseen circumstances" only five hours before he was set to go on.
Though he didn't give a reason or explain what those unforeseen circumstances might have been, the next day, he was engaged to a Kardashian. It wasn't hard to see the connection, and while love may conquer all, Kanye's happiness at his engagement didn't make the fans overjoyed when the concert was canceled.
West canceled parts of his Saint Pablo Tour in 2016 due to exhaustion, and he cut short a Los Angeles performance because he was losing his voice, saying, "My voice is so hoarse. I can't finish the show. I can't let y'all have a show where I can't perform for you."
