Kanye West's FC Basel concert cancelled

Another Kanye West concert has been cancelled amid a furore over his past antisemitic comments.

Swiss media had previously reported that the controversial rapper was due to perform at St. Jakob-Park, the home of football club FC Basel, in June.

But on Saturday, the club announced that they had backed out of plans after a "thorough review".

It is the fourth of West's European shows to be cancelled in the past fortnight.

He was due to appear at the Silesian Stadium in Chorzów on 19 June, his first performance in Poland for 15 years, but the venue said on Friday it would not go ahead "due to formal and legal reasons".

And earlier this month, his Wireless festival appearance was blocked after the UK government denied him entry to the country.

Earlier this week, West himself announced his planned concert at the Orange Velodrome in Marseille, France, on 11 June would be postponed "until further notice".

FC Basel, one of Switzerland's best-known football clubs, said in a statement: "FCB received an enquiry ⁠and considered it.

"However, after thorough review, we have decided not ‌to proceed with the project, as we cannot, in accordance with our values, provide a platform ‌for the artist in question within this context."

West recently wrote on his social media that he is "looking forward to the next shows".

Fury over West's previous antisemitic comments have returned ahead of the rapper's scheduled European tour this summer.

He has since apologised for his behaviour, which he attributed to a brain injury.
