Two stadium gigs in Russia by Ye, the rapper formerly known as Kanye West, have officially been cancelled. West had been due to perform at the Gazprom Arena in St Petersburg on 10 and 11 October. But there was confusion in the lead-up to the shows, as the venue had said it wouldn't host him for what would have been the biggest show by a western artist since Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022. In a post on messaging app Telegram, gig organisers Say Agency confirmed the concerts had been cancelled with "sincere regret".
