Just two weeks after Kanye West and Lady Gaga announced their full slate of “Fame Kills” dates, the tour has been canceled. No official reason has been given for the cancellation, but ticket refunds will be available.

See Lady Gaga’s wildest looks.

After the backlash surrounding Kanye’s outburst during Taylor Swift’s VMAs acceptance speech, the tour was rumored to be embattled. Now official confirmation of the cancellation comes from concert promoters Live Nation.

See Kanye’s stage invasion and other memorable moments from this year’s VMAs.

But Gaga isn’t letting this slow down her collaborations with rappers. Just yesterday, she hinted at the possibility of recording with Dr. Dre.

“Yo, Kanye, I’m really happy for you and I’m gonna let you finish, but Wilco’s upcoming tour is going to be the best tour of all time. Best tour of all time.”

I’m in tears too… tears of happiness that is.

Look into all the cancellations for Lie Nation, I was a victim of two, Greed & Aeroldsmith

Adam/Gaga | 10/1/2009, 7:29 pm EST

Adam Lambert/Lady Gaga tour was meant to be.

BrianZeppelin | 10/1/2009, 7:32 pm EST

Very Disappointing. New York was ready for this tour. Hope to see Kanye in Europe this summer.

Shiloh | 10/1/2009, 7:33 pm EST

I’m pretty sure that Kanye did say he was gonna take some time off for “reflection” on Jay Leno’s show. I wondered about this because the tour had already been announced.

Kwame O | 10/1/2009, 7:42 pm EST

Kanye should go on tour with Cudi. Gaga’s management may feel his reputation maybe kind of detrimental to career. I really wanted to go though.

the best news i have heard | 10/1/2009, 7:44 pm EST

this is great news….
kanye west is pure crap,
and lady caca is a woman with a bigger dick than most men….
they are both overrated,
style over substance…

Welcome to the new decade 2010 | 10/1/2009, 7:45 pm EST

I predicted this, no one cares about Kanye West right now, wait for 10 years for his comeback.

^kat^ | 10/1/2009, 8:26 pm EST

I’m happy for you two, Imma let you finish, but Aerosmith had the best cancelled tour this year.

blakkhoarse | 10/1/2009, 8:56 pm EST

no talent tour canceled! tear….

www.twitter.com/zaynjones | 10/1/2009, 9:30 pm EST

Canceled?!?! Maybe because he can’t live up to Taylor’s ticket numbers? Losing out to her would make him look as stupid as he does.

www.twitter.com/zaynjones | 10/1/2009, 9:31 pm EST

Remember, Kanye.. speak only when nominated.

Kanye | 10/1/2009, 9:46 pm EST

Hey Gaga, I like you, and i gunna let you finish, but Jamie Lee Curtis was the greatest hermaphrodite of all time!

BOOM | 10/1/2009, 9:47 pm EST

Kanya’s a bitch, fuck him

nicole789 | 10/1/2009, 9:50 pm EST

this is good news.
i agree with “the best news i ever heard” both lady gaga and kanye west are style over substance. i have heard lots of people say that kanye changed the face of music. In my opinion he changed the face of music in a negative way. Mainstream music is way overproduced and superficial. I’m glad people finally realize that kanye is NOT the talent they thought he was.

Alex | 10/1/2009, 9:52 pm EST

Gaga could sell out the shows without him!

mike | 10/1/2009, 9:58 pm EST

wth…kanyes glow in the dark tour was the biggest tour of the year..how can u ppl say this one wouldnt be just as good..u must be crazy!! I hope this tour does eventually come around!! KANYE WEST!!

Colin | 10/1/2009, 10:50 pm EST

Whether the technology and choreography of his shows are any good, a Kanye West show would be severely hindered by the aura of “douchebag” hanging in the air the whole time. Let’s find an analogy. Even if he had the most powerful lazer lights and the sickest glow in the dark technology, I would not go listen to Karl Rove give a lecture. Why? Because I think he’s an evil man or , at least to parallel the analogy, a douchebag.

The sad truth is that a Kanye Comeback is inevitable. If Chris Brown bounces back from his debacle, Kanye will too. I support both of those men in finding a real sense of purpose in life. I don’t support them financially benefiting from a staged period of disappearance. But if folks are fickle enough to run back to them, it’s their faults in the first place.

JU | 10/1/2009, 11:42 pm EST

“but Wilco’s upcoming tour is going to be the best tour of all time. Best tour of all time.”

Lets not kid ourselves!

freddy8092 | 10/1/2009, 11:48 pm EST

Hey look at me, Im cool, I hate kanye west!

paul | 10/2/2009, 1:35 am EST

I don’t deney kanye’s talent but dude is a serious douche. Time to separate the art from the artist. Oh yeah and Lady Gaga is the most overrated piece of shit ever.

P.S Wilco might be good but i just caught the Most Serene Republic in concert, one of the best shows i’ve seen ever.

Kanye sucks! | 10/2/2009, 1:59 am EST

Hey look at me, I’m cool, I suport ignorant and racists rappers, I’m so rebel!

Ashley | 10/2/2009, 2:07 am EST

I was only going for lady gaga! Saw her live and it was amazing! She’s an awesome performer and she could have done it by herself!!!!!!!

LX | 10/2/2009, 2:11 am EST

To quote Robert Randolph: Kanye Sucks.

givemeshelties | 10/2/2009, 3:11 am EST

This is great news. Now I can go see Lady GaGa without having to hold my nose supporting Kanye

indian | 10/2/2009, 3:33 am EST

GAGA | 10/2/2009, 4:10 am EST

might be not!

rapiscrap | 10/2/2009, 9:17 am EST

Maybe little Kanye will learn to keep his big fucking mouth shut.

Kanye West | 10/2/2009, 9:47 am EST

Yo Fans, I’m glad you’re here and Imma let you finish in a minute, but George W. Bush was the biggest idiot of all time. OF ALL TIME.

Lady gaga needs her own show | 10/2/2009, 9:52 am EST

kayne ruined it for her, a show by her self no opening act,,, the whole state of michigan would go be seeing that, im guessing her home state of NY to and who could forget the modern californian people, lady gaga, do ur own show, we’ll go, except for the haters of course, even then they probaly cant turn away

All of ya’ll really need to get over this ish. For real…He already apologized and Swift accepted apology. Just leave it at that. He will come back from this and has a lot of support out there still from his fans. He has more talent than most of you have in your pinky finger. What ever Kanye’s doing, I hope he’s taking care of himself right now.

tsn | 10/2/2009, 10:16 am EST

Kayne, u deserve this and I wish all the future tours of yours meet with the same end…. A word to other music artist… Please do not include Kayne in any venture of yours whatsoever….

Sorry Gaga, poor choice of a music partner for your tour.

Wesley | 10/2/2009, 10:21 am EST

I don’t really care about the VMA thing, because everyone knows that he is half brain dead. I am just excted that his horrible “music” will be heard by a few less people. I knew today was going to be a great day.

TobyTyler | 10/2/2009, 10:45 am EST

Who are these people???

Kris | 10/2/2009, 11:25 am EST

I LOVE YOU KANYE!! I’M A BIGGER FAN OF YOURS NOW!!! LADY GAGA FANS KICK ROCKS!

lane | 10/2/2009, 11:33 am EST

lane | 10/2/2009, 11:42 am EST

there are a lot of people that are happy this is cancelled but the rest of us are seriously depressed.if you dont like kanye, its simple just dont buy a ticket and dont blog about him????

why do you have to be happy that the rest of us are in tears?

BK | 10/2/2009, 12:21 pm EST

I can’t even begin to imagine what type of crowd would be at that show.

Anonymous | 10/2/2009, 1:11 pm EST

Kanye would stop making any kind of music or see a shreank!! he needs to get alive ASAP!! he dosen’t deseved to go on a tour with an artist like gaga -she’s WAY too good for him

jamie | 10/2/2009, 1:38 pm EST

I neaver knew who lady gaga was until the awards show .Since I personaly have listen to her music , bought c.d. and have watch her vidios on u-tube since ihave heard a lot of negitive commits, But she does have creative ideas and a great vioce ,and I am proud to say she she is from new york all so. I hope she put a new tour togethere soon and comes to Albany .

cspeak | 10/2/2009, 5:23 pm EST

Kanye fuck u i was lookin foward to goin to STL. and spend a lot of money to see you but you have to be a dick once again…good job asshole

=( | 10/2/2009, 8:49 pm EST

it would of been an awesome tour!

p.s- taylor swift diserved that. I don’t like her. has no talent really. sings like any girl on the radio and has very similar songs. same old boring!!
I’m sick of all the sameness in the music!!

why? | 10/2/2009, 8:50 pm EST

why are you blaming Kanye for theshow being cancelled? maybe it wasn’t his choice nor fault.
stop being so stereotypical guys!

joe | 10/2/2009, 11:41 pm EST

It’s all Kanye’s fault.Think about it!

Anonymous | 10/3/2009, 12:16 am EST

I am so upset, I was SOOOO excited to see Kanye for the second time! What the hell! :(

:O | 10/3/2009, 2:50 pm EST

Lady GaGa needs to go on a tour by herself again, without Kanye. Kanye was a poor choice for her to make. Kanye’s autotuned shit would have gotten booed but GaGa’s great voice would have taken his place.

Rey | 10/3/2009, 4:42 pm EST

Kanye is the best!!! Who cares what everybody says!!!

Angelina Villalobos | 10/4/2009, 12:44 am EST

I am so dissappointed about the cancellation of “Gaga’s” tour, but was sorely dissappointed at the coupling with Canye. He is such a tool and regularly makes himself out to be an idiot, while she stands a good chance to be a pop star. I would love to see her at another tour.

Adam | 10/4/2009, 2:46 am EST

THIS SUX!!!! Hopefully they’ll have this tour SOMETIME in the future.

queen of the world | 10/4/2009, 7:18 pm EST

LADY GAGA SUCKS ASS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lady gaga | 10/11/2009, 7:04 pm EST

I’m a stupid bimbo ho that doesn’t know anything I make “music” in an attempt to be noticed and gain attention I’m super rich and better than all of you I’m glad the tour was cancelled cause now i don’t have to deal with “poor” america now go buy my new album and support my efforts as an “artist” even though i didn’t write or sing any of my own songs

Kaya Camilla | 10/20/2009, 12:59 am EST

You wanna know why? Isn’t Kanye West such a major stage-stealer, Lady Gaga? For once, we’ve all been taken aback by his scandalous act in the 2009 MTV Music Video Awards, where he literally filched Taylor Swift’s “winning moment”. At least, Lady Gaga is picking up on someone her own size, as famous as she is, in the proper time and place–practically in the common stage that she and Kanye West shared. Unlike Kanye who is totally inappropriate. Gaga is no non-sense. I’ve seen Gaga’s interview with CNN, and it amazed me when she said that she spends every dollar she makes to her performances and she’s hands-on on all these, not just your ordinary pop star who is spoon-fed with just every bit of fame they got to show off. And this is what she answered when interviewer Kristie Lu Stout asked about the scrutiny under the tremendous fame she’s getting: “There’s no downsides…I’ve always been taught that only value the opinions of those you respect, and anyone you don’t respect, pay no mind to their opinion about you or anything else, and that’s how I live my life.” Bravo!

Lady Gaga cancelled it b/c of Kanye’s homophobia too.
she said at the gay rights march in DC that she wouldn’t tolerate any homophobia.

Jenny cora Thoman | 11/18/2009, 11:46 pm EST

i wish she win
