Fans looking to see Kanye’s Yeezus tour aren’t going to like this news.

Kanye West has postponed three shows from his ongoing Yeezus headlining tour due to damaged equipment resulting from a truck accident. According to Billboard:

A press statement from Island Def Jam details the accident, which occurred on the way to Vancouver and apparently damaged a “custom-made video truss and 60-ft circular LED screen” being used on the tour, which kicked off in Seattle earlier this month. The gear was wrecked beyond repair, and three shows on the trek — including Thursday’s show in Vancouver, which was itself originally scheduled for Oct. 20 before being bumped to Oct. 31 — will be rescheduled due to the accident.

“This 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,” reads the statement. “Kanye West will not compromise on bringing the show, as it was originally envisioned and designed, to his fans.”

Below is the list of postponed tour dates, with “further details on the affected tour dates” to be announced soon. 

Oct. 31: Vancouver, B.C.–  Pepsi Live at Rogers Arena
Nov. 1: Denver, CO – Pepsi Center
Nov. 5: Minneapolis, MN – Target Center

Hopefully he gets back on the road soon!
