Kanye West is at it again, though this time, he’s not in the spotlight for slamming the president. This fall, West will join Common, Keyshia Cole and American Idol Fantasia on the Touch the Sky tour.
At times, West has been very vocal about his critics and detractors, but for this outing, he insists that it’s all about the fans.
“It’s never been about the critics or the album sales,”West says. “It’s about the fans, and I love having the opportunity to bring this music — that I’ve poured my heart and soul into — to them. I think about how audiences are going to respond to hooks and intros and certain lines when I’m in the studio recording. Bringing these songs to the stage is the ultimate fulfillment of the creative process.”
The tour kicks off October 11 in Miami and will conclude in Vancouver, British Columbia December 11.
