Kanye West is reportedly set to resurrect the UK and European legs of his Saint Pablo tour.

The US rapper, who was hospitalised last year following an on-stage meltdown and proceeded to cancel all of the remaining dates, looks set to hit the road again.

According to reports, West is gearing up to announce a series of rescheduled UK dates in the next few months.

E! Entertainment reports that the 39-year-old is keen for the ‘rest of the world’ to see the tour and isn’t ready to give up on it just yet.

“Kanye wants to finish the tour. He loves his show, and he wants everyone in the world to see it,” said the insider.

“Kanye has a few surprise projects coming up that involves music and concerts in the spring and summer. Plus he is working on his fashion line and some collaborations.”

West had been expected to tour the UK at the beginning of 2017, telling Radio 1 back in August:

“Whenever I’m in London, whenever I’m in Paris or in Germany, I feel an amount of love, respect and appreciation more than when I’m in America.”

West spent nearly two weeks in at the UCLA Medical Center at the end of 2016 after displaying erratic behaviour at the home of his personal trainer following an on-stage meltdown in Sacramento.

While he is yet to speak out about his hospital stay, he was reportedly diagnosed with exhaustion and sleep deprivation.
