Kanye West postpones Australian tourdates to finish next album, but also because he didn't realize how long it'd take to get over there

Phew! Thanks for saving my ass, Kanye! So, remember last week when I told you about Kanye West’s plans to bring the truly American spectacle that is Yeezus to the virgin shores of Europe this summer? Well, apparently I got a little too caught up in all the great jokes about Europe I was able to bust out from my colossal internet database, because I completely forgot to mention the fact that he also had a series of dates planned for Australia in May!

But praise be to Yeezus, I was reading Pitchfork this morning like I do all the time, and I noticed that West is postponing that trip until September now! So, a) I’m totally off the hook for that shit, and b) just look at all this easy new content I get to generate for TMT now!

Yea, “officially-speaking,” the rescheduling is allegedly due to “unexpected timing requirements related to West finishing his next album,” buuuut… whatever, I like to think it’s kinda sorta secretly for me!
