So Pitchfork is reporting this morning that Jay-Z and Kanye West's highly anticipated Watch the Throne tour, which we told you was coming to Denver on Monday, October 10, is no longer coming to town on that date. The tour has apparently being rerouted due to "overwhelming demand," says Billboard, citing a statement from Roc Nation. (In other news, we hear Kings of Leon canceled its Denver dates yesterday because Caleb Followill is apparently having "voice problems.")

Either way, it looks like Denver might be in the crosshairs. Although, for what it's worth, the local folks at Live Nation have yet to receive confirmation of this. We'll keep you posted. In the meantime, if you're like us and holding out hope, it's not looking good. According to an item in the New York Post yesterday, it seems there may be trouble in paradise. Rather than Watch the Throne, a more fitting name for the tour, it appears, might be Clash of the Egos. The way we understand it, Jay wants to keep costs of the tour down, while Ye wants to break out the Blue card.
