Kanye West extends tour

Kanye West has extended his 'Saint Pablo Tour'.

The 39-year-old rapper has added 21 further dates which will see the star play to the masses right the way up to New Year's Eve (31.12.16) ahead of the first leg of his run of shows wrapping at the end of this month.

The new dates start in San Jose, California, on November 17, and will run up until a two-day stint in Brooklyn, New York, on December 30 and 31.

All of the additional 23 dates are solely in North America, so anyone wanting to catch the 'Gold Digger' hitmaker elsewhere will have to keep waiting as there's no plans in place to take the acclaimed tour worldwide as of yet.

The second leg of the tour - which sees the 'Famous' rapper perform on a floating stage that projects light and hovers above the crowd - will also include the rescheduled dates in Philadelphia and Detroit, after the star was forced to postpone the shows when his wife Kim Kardashian West was robbed at gunpoint in Paris, France, earlier this month.

Many of the cities the 'Fade' musician is hitting this time around are ones he visited during his first leg, so those who didn't manage to get a ticket have a second chance at catching the star.

The announcement comes after Kanye's 'Father Stretch My Hands Pt. 1' single shot to the top spot of Billboard's R&B/Hip Hop Airplay chart, marking his 12th number one on the chart.

Tickets for the shows will be available for American Express card holders on Wednesday (19.10.16) through to Friday (20.10.16), before going to general sale on Saturday (22.10.16).
