While Kanye West’s Yeezus Tour has received rave reviews, future shows have been postponed. The truck carrying the stage equipment was in an accident Friday.




Kanye West's “Yeezus” tour seems more hexed than blessed these days.


After postponing shows in Vancouver and Anaheim, Calif., West has now reportedly pushed back dates in Chicago, the city he hails from, reports the Huffington Post.

Just as with the previous postponements, the news of Chi-Town's tour setbacks comes days before the show was set to go on.


But unlike the other shows, which were delayed "due to production logistics," the Thursday and Saturday performances are reportedly deferred because of damaged equipment.

On Friday, ahead of his rescheduled Vancouver show, the 36-year-old rapper's truck carrying crucial pieces of stage equipment, like a 60-foot circular LED screen, was in an accident, reports People.


"The gear is central to the staging of The Yeezus Tour, and central to the creative vision put forth by Kanye West and his design team at Donda," a rep said.


Other shows that are delayed are in Denver and Minneapolis, and the crash may affect additional tour stops as well.


"As a result of this event," the rep added, "it is impossible to put on the show and the Yeezus Tour will be postponed until these essential pieces can be reengineered and refabricated."
