Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
If you were planning on seeing Kanye West this Sunday night at the Pepsi Center, feel free to start making other plans. The iconoclast mastermind has postponed this weekend's highly anticipated show with Kendrick Lamar. A truck hauling his staging was reportedly involved in an accident en route to Vancouver and was damaged to the point that the tour is not able to continue. A new date hasn't been announced, and is presumably contingent on the set being reconstructed. "Kanye West will not compromise on bringing the show, as it was originally envisioned and designed, to his fans," reads a statement from West's camp.
