Live Nation has released a statement declaring the cancelation of Kanye West and Lady Gaga's Fame Kills tour Thursday. Many have been speculating that the tour was going to be canceled since West's inexcusable outburst on the VMA's, according to [MTV.com](http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1622849/20091001/west_kanye.jhtml).  
  
No explanation was given as to why the tour was canceled. Those who already purchased tickets are expected to receive refunds.  
  
The tour has been in the news for other controversial reasons as well. 50 Cent called it "the gay tour" recently on an interview with New York's Hot 97. He has since apologized to the gay community Thursday.  
  
The Fame Kills tout was set to start November 10 in Phoenix.
