This morning, Kanye West walked into Trump Tower and met with President-elect Donald Trump, whom he loudly supported at his most recent concerts. They posed for photos with the press, and West refused to take questions. Now, West has explained why he met with Trump. See his tweets below.

In a post titled “There Is a Light That Now Goes Out” on Morrissey’s fan site/mouthpiece True to You (via Stereogum), the singer revealed that he and his band are in “unrecoverable despair” after the tour’s remaining shows in Detroit, Cleveland, Chicago, Houston, Dallas and San Antonio were “pulled down.”
