It's official: The "Saint Pablo" tour is no more for 2016. The cancellation is reportedly a result of Kanye being exhausted due to his fashion pursuits.

After Kanye West cancelled a show in L.A. last night hours before its scheduled start time, it has now been confirmed that all of the remaining "Saint Pablo" concerts, which were supposed to run through Dec. 31, have been abandoned. Ticketmaster confirmed the cancellation of the rest of the "Saint Pablo" dates this morning, after reports about Kanye quitting the tour surfaced last night. The company has been responding to ticket holders on its Twitter account, telling them that full refunds will be put into their accounts within 5-7 business days.

After the cancellation of the tour was announced, TMZ caught up with a source close to Kanye, who has explained that Yeezy had to abandon his "Saint Pablo" shows due to being overworked. "He's just exhausted," said the source. "He's been working around the clock on fashion design, both his own line and the Adidas line."

The source also said that Kanye wants to spend more time with his family, especially in the wake of the violent robbery his wife suffered in Paris last month. The stress and exhaustion plaguing Kanye might at least be partly responsible of the unraveling of the last couple of shows, which were characterized by controversial (even by his standards) onstage rants, during which he has endorsed Donald Trump and spoken on his fractured relationship with Beyonce and Jay Z, among other admissions.
