Weeks after telling Jay Leno he would take some time off, Kanye West appears to be sticking to his word. West has called off his upcoming “Fame Kills” tour with Lady Gaga. The tour was to span three months and 34 shows while traveling across the U.S. and Canada, but instead it seems Kanye is going to use the time to reflect and figure out what he’s going to do with himself.
