GaGa Explains Why She And Kanye Canceled Tour

240174-5-1238664879634LADY GaGa has revealed why she and Kanye West canceled their joint Fame Kills tour — the timing wasn’t right.  The tour — which was to run from November 10, 2009 until January 24, 2010 — was canned earlier this month by concert promoters Live Nation. “It just wasn’t the right timing,” Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Germanotta, told Rolling Stone magazine. “I don’t want to embellish on it too much, because I want to respect Kanye’s privacy. But we just had our own reasons. “We’re real friends, real friends can make decisions like that, and we wanted to keep the momentum going in terms of pop music staying innovative with hip-hop and R&B, and we really wanted to do it, and it just wasn’t the right time. But who’s to say what will happen in the future?” And out of respect for West and the lost Fame Kills tour, the Poker Face hitmaker won’t be recycling ideas from it for her new, solo tour, she says. “I’m certainly inspired by what we were doing, but I made a decision based on integrity not to use any of the things that we had designed together,” she says.

So what can fans expect from GaGa’s tour? “I wanted to really put together a show that would be the most beautiful, expensive-looking, delicious show, but that my fans wouldn’t have to pay a ton of money to come see,” she said.
