Police shut down Kanye’s party

This past weekend must not be it for Kanye – from technical glitch to the big hand of the law interfering in his show. This weekend, according to Hollywood, the police were called in to stop Kanye West’s after show party. It seems the guests were too rowdy for the neighbourhood. Some neighbours do not really care whose party it is, they just want peace and quiet:
According to the reports, West’s was shut down by police in Beverly Hills, California on Saturday night before the rapper had even arrived.
The Power hit maker wrapped up the second show of his two-night stint at the Hollywood Bowl on Saturday, when he played his 2008 album 808s & Heartbreak in its entirety.
He was due to celebrate the gigs with a bash at a private estate, but cops were called to the neighbourhood after large, noisy crowds gathered outside the venue.
Authorities ordered the huge group to disperse, and event organisers subsequently moved the party to another, undisclosed venue.

The police intervention wasn’t the only drama West encountered over the weekend. He also experienced some technical problems during his first Hollywood Bowl gig on Friday, when he briefly halted the show to complain about the lack of piano backing track for See You in My Nightmares.
In video footage of the incident, obtained by TMZ.com, West can be heard saying, “There’s no piano. Stop the track”, and then quipping, “This is the best dress rehearsal I’ve ever had.”
The sound glitch didn’t put a damper on the show for one of West’s biggest fans – his wife Kim Kardashian shared photos of the concert on Instagram.com, and simply captioned one snap, “AMAZING”.
