The Russian stadium that was scheduled to host two shows by Kanye West has said the events will no longer take place. In a social media post, St Petersburg's Gazprom Arena said no rental agreement had been signed with the concert promoters ahead of the sold-out concert scheduled for 10 and 11 October. There is no indication that authorities intervened to have the sow stayed, but there has been opposition to West's booking from some Russian politicians and citizens.
