For the second time in less than two weeks, rapper Kanye West has cancelled a concert in Vancouver. The 36-year-old West was supposed to perform at Rogers Arena tonight, 11 days after his Oct. 20th show was postponed.

According to a statement Thursday afternoon from West's record label, Island Def Jam, the cause of the postponement was a traffic accident involving a tour truck. The truck was carrying a custom-made video truss and 60-ft circular LED screen, both of which were damaged "beyond repair."
