Lady Gaga Concert Tour Walkout
Lady Gaga’s Monster Ball Tour is feeling a little lighter this morning. Last night on the Pearl in the Palms stage, Kid Cudi was a no show. Showing her extreme professionalism, Lady Gaga didn’t let that stop her. The self proclaimed freak and Monster Ball headliner went on without Kid Cudi warming up the crowd of ticket-buying fans in Las Vegas, NV last night. No worries, monster fans, the sold-out, two-night Monster Ball Tour show in Las Vegas Nevada will still go on.
Ticket promoters for Lady Gaga’s Monster Ball Tour announced today that if fans want a refund because Kid Cudi is no longer performing, they should request one at The Pearl box office before the start of the show. What a deal, especially in sin city. An official announcement came from Kid Cudi’s website, DatNewCudi.com, only a few hours later. “Kid Cudi has decided to take an early leave of absence from Lady Gaga’s Monster Ball tour, in order to balance his schedule surrounding the recording of his next album and acting commitments. Cudi does not want to disappoint his fans and will move forward with his individual show dates in December and throughout the month of January.”
All of this Lady Gaga Monster Ball Tour hoopla comes only five days after opening act rapper Kid Cudi punched a fan during a solo performance in Vancouver, Canada. That incident occurred during Kid Cudi’s fifth show in three days. His representatives are saying the stress of his solo tour may have taken its toll on him. Really?
Most die hard fans of Lady Gaga will remember this is not the first concert tour fiasco the Monster Ball Tour has experienced this year. You’ll remember that Lady Gaga’s first scheduled tour of 2009, the Fame Kills tour, was going to feature Kanye West. But that tour was quickly canceled at the last minute, actually a few days after Kanye West interrupted Taylor Swift during her acceptance speech at the MTV Video Music Awards. That bombed out tour was replaced with the successful Monster Ball Tour, currently in its first month of sold-out shows.
As of this morning, Kid Cudi’s replacement on the Monster Ball Tour with Lady Gaga is going to be Jason Derulo. If you aren’t familiar with Jason Derulo, look up his chart-topping single “Whatcha Say” on YouTube. The sold out Monster Ball Tour will go ahead as scheduled. Leave it to Team Gaga not to skip a beat by replacing the warm-up act so quickly. Although I’m sure there is a long list of acts wanting to step up on stage and warm up the crowd of adoring fans for the luscious and sexy diva of the year, Lady Gaga.
