Kanye West throws surprise show in New York, gig gets cancelled

Kanye West was one of several artists to throw last-minute New York shows, after the final day of festival Governor’s Ball was cancelled due to severe weather.

However, Kanye was forced to pull the gig at 2am local time, when more than 4,000 people showed up for a sold out show at the 1,500-capacity Webster Hall.

With fans queueing up outside the block, the venue tweeted “There is no late show at Webster Hall tonight. Please get home safely,” amid safety concerns.
