Rapper Kanye West plots to hit the road across Europe this summer. He will perform in several major venues across the continent to promote his fourth studio album "808's & Heartbreak". After wrapping his European leg, Kanye is also expected hit the road in U.S. for a number of live concerts. The rapper will reportedly kick off the American tour this fall. Tour dates have not been announced just yet.
"I get bored with stuff," Kanye said in a recent interview. "The last one was done because I didn't feel like doing a rap show, because of all I was going through in my life. All I felt like was playing with 'Star Wars' (toys) and being Luke Skywalker. So I figured you know, 'I'll do a rap show if I can just be like Luke Skywalker every night.' And so I just wrote my own sci-fi and played in it."
"808's & Heartbreak" is Kanye West's latest installment with guest appearances from such musicians as Kid Cudi, Young Jeezy and Lil Wayne. Released in U.S. on November 24, 2008, the album debuted at number one on Billboard Hot 200, selling more than 450,000 copies in its first week of sales.
