Kanye West postpones Australian tour to finish new album

Kanye West’s Yeezus tour has not been without its obstacles so far. As well as technical difficulties stalling some shows, now the rapper has been forced to postpone a handful of dates to work on his next album.

West had been scheduled to tour Australia during May, but now has decided to push these shows back to September due to “unexpected timing requirements” related to his yet-unannounced new LP.

You can see the list of rearranged shows below. It’s not yet known how this will affect West’s upcoming European tour.
