Kanye West's first solo concert in 5 years - "Yeezus Tour" has been indefinitely deferred after his tour truck carrying a huge LED screen crashed.

Officials say that a custom-made video truss and 60-foot circular LED screen were damaged "beyond repair". His tour truck crashed on the road from Los Angeles to Vancouver, British Columbia, where West was scheduled to perform Thursday night, Gabe Tesoriero said.

"This gear is central to the staging of 'The Yeezus Tour' and central to the creative vision put forth by Kanye West and his design team at DONDA," Tesoriero said.

It is "impossible" for West to perform "until these essential pieces can be re-engineered and refabricated," he said.

"Kanye West will not compromise on bringing the show, as it was originally envisioned and designed, to his fans."

Thursday night's Vancouver performance, Sunday's concert in Denver and Tuesday's stop in Minneapolis have been postponed indefinitely. Kanye will next perform on November 7, at Chicago's United Center.
