West’s Yeezus tour back on road Nov. 16

NEW YORK

Kanye West’s temporarily sidetracked Yeezus tour will kick off again Nov. 16 in Philadelphia.

A Wednesday news release says West has rescheduled dates in his hometown of Chicago, as well as Toronto and Detroit. He’ll cancel shows in Vancouver; Denver; Columbus, Ohio; Minneapolis; and St. Louis.

The rapper’s tour kicked off last month but was derailed after a large LED screen used in the production was damaged. Twenty-three dates will be played, most with Kendrick Lamar as opener.
