The collaboration of Lady Gaga and Kanye West has ended before it began. Just days after the tour dates were announced, the plug was pulled on their “Fame Kills” tour.

On the continued backlash after Kanye snatched the mic from Taylor Swift during the 2009 MTV VMA’s, West is facing more and more demons. Reports that his drinking has gotten out of control were followed by a chicken centered temper tantrum. To make matters worse, Live Nation, the tour promoters failed to give even a simple and pr crafted reason why the tour was axed. Naturally we are left to connect the dots which is far worse than any lie they could come up with to cover their assets.

The tour was kept on the hush until West went on Jay Leno’s new show to apologize. The following day, E! points out, the Gaga/West collabo was announced with a kick off on November 10th. Now, being that we are left to guess what happened, sources and outlets are reporting a number of reasons why “Fame Kills” was abruptly axed.

TMZ states that ticket sales “sucked” so bad that it isn’t worth their time. Other mentions of a Gaga/West feud are starting to rumble. It’s hard to ignore the “Love Lockdown” crooner’s drinking problem too. So it appears we have a plethora of excuses.

Ticket holders (all 4 of you) will get your money back as refunds are currently in the works.
