Vogue cover star Kanye West was scheduled to round out his Yeezus tour with a run of shows Down Under in May, but it seems something more urgent has come up-- something along the lines of a "highly anticipated new studio album" that's not going to finish itself, that is. According to a Roc Nation release, Kanye has "regretfully postponed" his upcoming tour dates in Australia in order to meet "unexpected timing requirements" related to the release of his forthcoming Yeezus follow-up, which he's said he hopes will be ready for release sometime this summer. Read the full release below:
Due to unexpected timing requirements to finish his highly anticipated new studio album, scheduled for a 2014 release, Kanye West regretfully announces the postponement of his upcoming tour dates in Australia.

So thanks, Australia, for taking one for the team.
