North West cancels her first headline tour days before show
Just days before embarking on her debut headline tour, North West has pulled the plug.
The teenager had long been scheduled to appear as rapper Molly Santana's support artist for her Kimokawaii Tour, which would have kicked off in Dallas, Texas, next Wednesday (5 Aug).
The announcement came following the release of 13-year-old North's debut EP, N0rth4evr, which was made available to fans on 1 May.
The major milestone was celebrated by North's family, including her A-list mother Kim Kardashian, who shares the star with her musician ex Kanye West.

Kim's siblings Rob and Khloe Kardashian, as well as mum Kris Jenner, shared snaps at the time on Instagram, showing them listening to North's tracks, as reported by PEOPLE.
The lead single from the compilation is titled 'Piercing On My Hand', during which she addressed the major fall-out that stemmed from her decision to undergo a dermal piercing procedure.
'Piercing on my hand, the other holding bands / No friends, just filter, you wouldn’t understand," she raps. "All my friends are hits, you know I’m not lazy / You’re so angry that I’m so mainstream. I’m not sure I’m crazy / I want more piercings and tats / I love blue hair put it in some plaits / Put the music to the max/I want like a hundred thousand racks."
Despite the initial excitement surrounding her upcoming string of shows, however, fans of North have since noticed that both her initial Dallas date and another scheduled in Toronto on 17 August are now listed as 'cancelled' on Ticketmaster.
The dates have also been removed from the tour's official website - although her 25 August date at San Francisco's The Midway venue remains in place.
According to several news outlets, on North's official Instagram site (which is run by her famous parents), she wrote last night (30 Jul): "I was really excited to go on tour (with) Molly Santana, sadly it isn’t happening anymore.
"But I have something special for you guys, see you soon."
Santana also shared a statement on Instagram, confirming that some dates alongside North had been axed.
"To everyone who bought tickets to the tour, I sincerely apologise," the 21-year-old penned. "I know a lot of you have taken time out of your busy schedules and spent your hard-earned money planning to be there.
"Nothing makes me happier than the opportunity to share more amazing memories with you all, and I hope to see you soon."
The artist also promised she'd 'make it up' to her fans, telling them: "You are all so greatly appreciated and please know that I never take your time or support lightly.
"I love y'all so much, and I promise I will make this one up to you."
